  *    New race and ethnicity data were not available for all Services until after the first quarter of FY03. Therefore, DOD and
        civilian race and ethnicity data only represent the last three quarters of FY03. First quarter totals, (represented by Q1)
        are added to DOD second through fourth quarter subtotals for comparison purposes.    
  **  High quality accessions are AFQT Category I-IIIA, high school graduates.  
  ***Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to ethnicity question.  
        Rows may not add to totals due to rounding.
