Does anyone know how many resignations we have had so far as a result of DADT?

Zero. There is almost 10% unemployment.

While I'm not a fan of the DADT repeal, it's fanciful to believe that there might be some resignations because of it. Besides, the only people who can resign from the military, or non-ob officers.

The only indication where you might be able to discern where the repeal has had a deleterious effect (at least on troop strength) is on the retention and recruitment numbers. Thus far, those number have been excellent - again, in no small part due to economic conditions.

None, it’s a bad economy and military pay is pretty decent compared to civilian sectors. You won’t be seeing a lot of officers jump ship. Everyone is trying to get their 20.

I have not heard of any and certainly no one did at my command.

Indeed, how soon 'til the military loses too many and recruits too few?
