  1. In FY03, 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 race/ethnicity data only represent the last three
      quarters of FY03.
  2. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
  3. In FY03, there was a change in the way DoD reported race/ethnicity data. However, the new race data were not available for all 
      services until after the first quarter of FY03.  As a result, the DoD data for individual race groupings reflect accessions for only 
      the last three quarters of FY03.  First quarter total accessions were added to DoD second through fourth quarter subtotals in order 
      to illustrate cross-year aggregate comparisons.  FY03 percentages by race grouping are for the last three quarters of FY03.
