1. It's not as tiny as you would think. In fact, it's almost a requirement now to advance beyond the rank of E6.
So what are we talking? Less than 10% I would imagine. And then how many become CWO or switch over once they make Staff? Those just entering boot camp I would assume is probably south of 3%. So like I said, you have an entirely different pool of candidates going into the service once you make a base pay north of 50k. So a lot of these people who choose the military to get out of a bad situation or out of service to their country aren't able to do that so much. What do you think they turn to?

I love that your argument is basically that increasing the quality of our military would be a bad thing.

Just using my branch, Signal: A 25-series Soldier typically gets industry training certifications early on that cost others between $400 - $1,000 out of pocket each such as A+, Network+, Security+, Windows 10 CE, CCNA, Ethical Hacker, ITIL Foundacion, Fiber placement and cutting, etc. that are paid for by the military.

Most members of the military come from middle-class neighborhoods. A neighborhood affluence study found that the middle three quintiles were overrepresented among enlisted recruits, while the top and bottom quintiles were underrepresented.
