The proportion of Selected Reserve accessions in FY 1999 who were women was slightly greater (20 percent) than in the Active Component (18 percent).  Table 5.4 reflects the gender percentages for NPS and prior service accessions by Component.  The USAR and USAFR had the highest proportion of female accessions in the Selected Reserve (27 and 26 percent, respectively), while the USMCR had the lowest (5 percent).  With the exception of the USMCR, the proportion of prior service female recruits was lower than NPs female recruits.
