*  The Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Breakouts of accessions by service   
    component and prior service/non-prior service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences in defining prior service accessions. DMDC 
    uses the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to determine prior service, but the services each use their own criteria.
**Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to ethnicity question.
    Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
