*  In FY 2003 there was a change in the way DOD reported race/ethnicity data. The new race/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. 
**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 
     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.
