	1. Refers to non-prior service (NPS) individuals whose first formal application (i.e., taking a screening physical exam or the Armed Services
	Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)) was in FY11.  Does not include participants in the High School Testing Program unless otherwise
	tested.
	2. AFQT scores are percentiles that are normalized to the 1997 American youth population.  For example, a score of 92 represents the
	92nd percentile and means that 92 percent of the youth population scored at or below that score.  It is standard to report these AFQT score
	percentiles in the categories listed below.
		Cat I:	100-93	Cat IIIB:	49-31
		Cat II:	92-65	Cat IV:	30-10
		Cat IIIA:	64-50	Cat V:	9-1
	3. AFQT percentile scores are normed by a nationally-representative sample of American youth.  The 1997 norming replaced the
	1980 norming, which replaced the WWII norming.  AFQT category V individuals are ineligible for military service.
	Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
