  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. The Population Representation in the Military Services Report (POPREP) uses data from DMDC.  Breakouts of FY2007-2009 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.
