In the end, it has worked with a different style and approach. We're keeping you around a little bit longer now.
If people do want to leave, and they're adamant, we'll let them go. We'll let them go. But the number has dropped dramatically by changing our approach, putting in some policies.
The other thing we have done is our new fitness program. We no longer do fitness testing in the recruiting centres. We took that out. The buck stops with me; I made that call about a year and a half ago. Now when you arrive at the recruit school, in the first week you take your fitness test. If you pass it, you carry on with your training. If you do not, we keep you around and make you fit. You get a personal trainer.
Now, there's structure here. You don't get to sleep in all day. We wake you up in the morning, we give you a personal trainer, and your swipe card allows you to eat only good food in the cafeteria. We put you in bed for an hour in the afternoon.
Remember, the objective here is to retain. We get people fit. Originally what I had put in place was to keep people around for 90 days. They're doing it in 30 days.
Last year, by making that little shift in approach, we added to the CF's overall expansion targets by 550 folks, just with that little fitness program. If we hadn't had that program in place last year, those 550 would have left.
We've only had one person--I'll answer the question now, because I know you're going to raise it--join the Canadian Forces in order to join the fitness program. He left at the end.
