I believe that about 20% of the thru-hikers have server in the military.
What I would like to know is how many hikers after completing the AT or other long distance trail went on to serve in the military? It would be nice to run into another former thru-hiker while in the military.

Good question. I think it's one that deserves it's own thread.
