| service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences in defining prior service accessions. DMDC uses the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to determine | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| prior service, but the services each use their own criteria. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
