Center for Disease Control Facts

As many as 1 in 10 adolescent girls tested for chlamydia is infected.

Based on reports to CDC provided by states that collect age-specific data, teenage girls have the highest rates of chlamydial infection. In these states, 15- to 19-year-old girls represent 46% of infections and 20- to 24-year-old women represent another 33%. These high percentages are consistent with high rates of other STDs among teenagers.

Among women entering the Job Corps in 1997, chlamydia rates ranged from 4 - 14% by state (20,000 entrants are screened annually). Chlamydial infection is widespread geographically and highly prevalent among these economically disadvantaged young women between 16 and 24 years old.

Seems to me like the Army recruits are just the same as everyone else (1 in 10 or so), and likely cleaner.

Of course they are, but liberals hate the military.

That was my question too - what is the rate in the general population? This study of course only dealt with the military population.
