*    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.
**  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.
