Race/Ethnicity and Gender. The USCG percentage of Whites was slightly higher than the overall DoD rate for the officer corps (85 and 82 percent, respectively), as shown in Table 7.9. Members of the USCG’s officer corps were also slightly more likely to be male than were DoD officers (85 and 84 percent, respectively). These percentages, however, are reversed for officer accessions (78 and 84 percent respectively).
