As the admiral said, there are roughly 9,000 files of still-serving members that haven't really been moved along. Those people would have records that are more automated than those of the retirees, but because there were no automated records prior to 1999, there are, for sure, still paper files for those years. As we move further away from 1999, more years become automated.
