IIRC, the services reserve a percentage of slots for females and have to turn away male volunteers.

Do you have a source? I searched both google and Defenselink.mil and could find no definitive evidence of fully qualified male applicants being turned away in favor of female applicants.

Were you a recruiter? Please state service, branch, highest grade held and years of service.

Here's mine: USAF; Medical Corps (Flight Surgeon: Rescue, Bombers, Tankers, ICBM); LtCol (O-5); Reserve 1971-1980, Active Duty 1980-1991.

Sorry, Joe, I don't have to justify my existance to you (see profile - just celebrated 20+ years with my outfit).

My comment was based upon my recollection of something I heard somewhere years ago. Whether it was true when I heard it I can't say.
