  1. Refers to non-prior service (NPS) individuals whose first formal application (i.e., taking a screening physical exam or the Armed 
      Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)) was in FY 2007.  Does not include participants in the High School Testing Program 
      unless otherwise tested.
  2. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
  3. AFQT categories are based on normalized test scores:
            Cat I 100-93
            Cat II 92-65
            Cat IIIA 64-50
            Cat IIIB 49-31
            Cat IV 30-10
            Cat V 9-1
  4. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who 
      who self-identify as multiracial are counted in the "two or more" category. 
      Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
