*   The Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Breakouts of accessions by service component and prior service/non-prior  
     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.
**Comparison group includes civilians in the work force.
    Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
