* The Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Breakouts of FY06 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.
