Information on number of people leaving the military for the last 10 years

Ministry of Defence did not have the information requested.

Dear Ministry of Defence,

I'm looking for specific data relating to the number of people leaving the military each year.

Being a former military myself, i understand some of their problems when leaving. Before I design a product to aid their transition i need to understand a bit more about the target market.

I would like please
Number of people(all ranks) leaving the ARMY 2005,2006,2007......2015.
Number of people(all ranks) leaving the RAF 2005,2006,2007......2015.
Number of people(all ranks) leaving the Navy 2005,2006,2007......2015.

Also for each service (army/navy/raf) and year, I would like to request, average length of service in years.

So for example
ARMY
2005 10,000 left, average time served 4.7 years
2006 9,000 left, average time served 5.1 years
and so on.

Yours faithfully,

Rupert Wallace
