Gender
The proportion of Selected Reserve accessions in FY 2001 who were women was
slightly greater (20 percent) than in the Active Components (18 percent). Table
5.4 reflects the gender percentages for NPS and prior service accessions by
Component. The USAR and USAFR had the highest proportion of female accessions
in the Selected Reserve (26 and 29 percent, respectively), while the USMCR had
the lowest (5 percent). With the exception of the USMCR, the proportion of prior
service female recruits was lower than NPS female recruits.
