Conclusion
 There are insufficient data to support a conclusion
 Attrition within the MAVNI population appears to be less than 2.5% per year for all causes
 Significantly less than the FY13 average of 12.4% among officers
 MAVNI population is not yet mature enough to include aging issues
 For now, it appears that MAVNI officers are less prone to attrition than officers entering the
Reserve through mainstream sources
