  1. The race groupings used in this table reflect all racial identities reported by respondents.  Thus, an individual who identifies him or herself as multiracial 
      will be counted more than once.  For example, someone who self-identifies as "Asian and Black or Africa-American" will be counted in both the 
     "Black" and "Asian" categories above.  Thus, the counts overstate accessions.
  2. Civilians who Declined to Respond are included in "Unknown."
  3. American Indian, Alaska Native
  4. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
  5. Individuals with Unknown ethnicity are not included in this table.
      The counts and percentages in this table do not match other tables in this report.
      Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
