  Note:  Officer gains reflect an addition to the officer ranks. This addition can reflect a new accession, a movement from 
      another component, or the return of the officer to the same component.  The OSD definition of an officer gain is a 
        transaction in a database that reflects the addition of an SSN that was not in the previous file.
