*  New race and ethnicity data were not available for all Services until after the first quarter of FY03. Therefore, DOD and civilian race and ethnicity data only represent the last  
    three quarters of FY03 (January 2003-September 2003).                            
**Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to ethnicity question.
