  1. Although the United States Coast Guard (USCG) has a direct commissioning program, USCG data provided to DMDC do not allow calculation of direct appointment by gender and race/ethnicity.
  2. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
  3. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who self-identify as multiracial are counted in the “two or more” category.
