In
FY 1999, the USCG Reserve accessed a total of 155 new officers and the
overall Reserve officer corps end-strength stood at 1,078, both up from
FY 1998 (114 accessions and 1,059 end-strength). By race/ethnicity and
gender, members of the overall USCG Reserve officer corps were more likely
to be White and male than were their DoD Reserve counterparts, as shown
in Table 8.15.

Source
of Commission. Table
8.16 presents source of commission for Reserve officer accessions and
Reserve officers in the Coast Guard and overall DoD Reserve Components.
The most often cited source of commission for both new USCG Reserve officer
accessions and members of the USCG Reserve officer corps was Other,
which includes officers trained in one Service, but accessed or serving
in another Service. The remainder of new officer accessions or officer
corps members were commissioned via either OCS or the Coast Guard Academy.
The Coast Guard Reserve does not have an ROTC program.

Educational Attainment.
Both Coast Guard Reserve officer accessions and officer corps members were
less likely than their DoD comparison groups to be college graduates (Table
8.16). As was mentioned for the Active Component, USCG has specialized
programs that offer commissions to enlisted members who are traditionally
less likely to have college credentials.
Representation Within Occupation.
USCG Reserve officer corps females were almost equally represented with
their male counterparts in tactical operations (Table 8.17). But, similar
to the Active Component Coast Guard, women in the USCG Reserve were underrepresented
in engineering and maintenance and overrepresented in non-occupational
areas. Minority USCG Reserve officers were underrepresented in tactical
operations and overrepresented in the non-occupational area.
