| 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 | ||||||||||||||
