	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 2009.  Does not include participants in the High School Testing Program
	unless otherwise tested.
	2. AFQT categories are based on normalized test scores:
	Cat I:	100-93	Cat IIIB:	49-31
	Cat II:	92-65	Cat IV:	30-10
	Cat IIIA:	64-50	Cat V:	9-1
	3. 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.
	4. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
	Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
