1. High quality individuals are high school graduates who are in Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) categories I through IIIA.
2. Values reflect Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) misnorming.
3. Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from DMDC.  Breakouts of FY07 accessions by service
component and non-prior/prior service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences
in defining prior service accessions.
