U.S. COAST GUARD Characteristics of Active Component Non-Prior Service Accessions Of the 8,652 individuals who applied for service in the
USCG, a total of 3,270 actually accessed. This number represents a 38-percent
accession-to-applicant ratio, the same percentage as in FY 2003 but down
from 41 percent in 2002. The distribution of race/ethnicity by gender
for FY 2004 Coast Guard and overall DoD Active Component NPS accessions

American Indian/Alaskan Native, 2 percent Asian, 1 percent Native Hawaiian/Pacific
Islander and 1 percent of individuals were of two or more races. Seventeen
percent of male Coast Guard accessions identified themselves as Hispanic.
Among female USCG accessions, 81 percent were White and 10 percent were

were more likely to be White and male than accessions in DoD. Summary
