	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.
