He appointed a task force to examine the reasons for the high attrition rate in the 1980s, where he found that much of the problem was female recruits often lacked strong backgrounds in sciences or athletics, two staples of life at the academy. Once recruiters started looking for women who were strong in these areas, as were their male counterparts, the attrition rate dropped. Decorations
