My son has 2 months left to go in his power school class, his GPA is currently right around the top quarter of the class.
A school section started with 24 and graduated 17 (16 graduated with the class, 1 med roll back graduated with the following class, so he counts I guess). So that is 1/3 gone during A school. He said in power school, some are hanging on by the skin of their teeth. He said the most recent test right before Christmas, of his power school section of 33 ET students, 14 flunked the exam. He did fine on it but jeez ... the means more than 40% failed the test.
Regarding people getting masted he said Yes, they still have captain's mast EVERY WEEK and people are getting tossed out left and right. There does seem to be a lot of attrition among people who are in the pipeline now. It is hard to believe they are still such knuckleheads left that made it this far after being at Goose Creek for close to a year, but they are still bagging people.
