  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 FY14.  Does not include participants in the High School Testing Program 
      unless otherwise tested.
  2. AFQT scores are percentiles that are normalized to the 1997 American youth population.  For example, a score of 92 represents the 
      92nd percentile and means that 92 percent of the youth population scored at or below that score.  It is standard to report these AFQT 
      score percentiles in the categories listed below.
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. American Indian, Alaska Native
  5. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
