	1. 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.
	2. In FY03, there was a change in the way DoD reported race/ethnicity data. However, the new race data were not available for all services until after the
	first quarter of FY03.  As a result, the DoD data for individual race groupings reflect accessions for only the last three quarters of FY03.  First quarter
	total accessions were added to DoD second through fourth quarter subtotals in order to illustrate cross-year aggregate comparisons.  FY03 percentages by
	race grouping are for the last three quarters of FY03.
