*    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.
**   Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to ethnicity question.
***Comparison group includes civilians in the work force. Civilian numbers and percentages combine tiers 1 and 2.
      Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
