| ACTIVE COMPONENT ENLISTED APPLICANTS AND ACCESSIONS High Quality. The Services define high-quality recruits as high school diploma graduates who also score in the top 50 percent on the AFQT, Categories I through IIIA. Figure 2.8 shows the trends in the proportion of high-quality accessions since FY 1973. In general, sharp increases in high-quality recruits correspond to periods of rising youth unemployment. [Footnote 31] In FY 2004, the percentage of high-quality recruits ranged from 61 percent in the Army to 81 percent in the Air Force.
