  1. 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 FY 2003. Therefore, DoD race and ethnicity data only represent the last three
      quarters of FY 2003.
  2. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
  3. First quarter totals were added to DoD second through fourth quarter subtotals for cross-year comparision purposes. Percentages 
      are for the last three quarters of FY 2003.
  4. Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from DMDC. Breakouts of accessions by service 
      component and prior service (PS)/NPS designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences in defining 
      PS accessions.
