Wow, I could have sworn that California was way higher on that list. I recall hearing somewhere that we were at or near the top when the battle in Iraq began. Maybe I was wrong. I just sent one off in August and another will go to basic in May. Maybe that’ll bump the stats a bit.;o)
Maybe the numbers you saw were absolute numbers rather than percentages like in this ranking. California has the largest population, so even with a little lower enlistment percentage will still end up sending a large number.
