Chapter 7:


Characteristics of Active Component Non-Prior Service Accessions

Of the 9,034 individuals who applied for service in the USCG, a total of 4,197 actually accessed. This number represents a 47-percent accession-to-applicant ratio, down slightly from 48 percent in FY 1999. The distribution of race/ethnicity by gender for FY 2000 Coast Guard and overall DoD Active Component NPS accessions is shown in Table 7.1. Eighty-seven percent of USCG NPS accessions were male (Appendix Table E-6), of whom 85 percent were White, 4 percent Black, 7 percent Hispanic, and 4 percent "Other." Of the female USCG accessions, 80 percent were White, 8 percent Black, 7 percent Hispanic, and 5 percent "Other." Overall, USCG accessions were more likely to be White and male than accessions in DoD. The proportion of USCG accessions who were Black is approximately one fifth of the percentage for the overall DoD.
