I do not think it will get less committed members, but it could deter people from joining. I think recruitment as in anything is how you pitch it, but in SWAT I believe it should be the honest truth about what you are getting yourself into. The more they know about SWAT the more informed decisions they can make about the complexities it takes to be a good SWAT operator. As a commander any vetting tool you can use to find good “future” operators will be the key to future success.
