    The topline of the study is specifically the percentage of 17-24 year olds who can join without a waiver. There is no “beyond a waiver” category in the study. Surely some of them are beyond a waiver, but the study does not make that distinction.

    And it straight up says the reduction of availability is because of an increase in standards, not a decrease in the population’s capacity.
