| * In FY 2003 there was a change in the way DOD reported race/ethnicity data. The new race/ethnicity data were not available for all Services until after the first quarter of FY03. Therefore, DOD and civilian | ||||||||||||||||
| race and ethnicity data only represent the last three quarters of FY03. | ||||||||||||||||
| ** First quarter totals were added to DOD second through fourth quarters subtotals for cross-year comparision purposes. Percentages are for last three quarters of FY03. | ||||||||||||||||
| ***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. | ||||||||||||||||
