  1. In FY 2003 there was a change in the way DoD reported race/ethnicity data.  The new race/ethnicity data were only made available for the last 
      three quarters of FY2003.  Thus, the FY 2003 data includes percentages for NPS accessions by  race/ethnic for the last three quarters of FY 2003 only. 
      Since we do not have full year totals, we omit the total number of accessions.  Race and ethnic distributions were not reported in FY2003 for enlisted members.
