Note:  Officer gains reflect an addition to the officer ranks. This addition can reflect a new accession, a movement from another component, or the return of the officer to the same component.  The OSD definition of an officer gain is a transaction in a database that reflects the addition of an SSN that was not in the previous file.
1. Comparison group for officer gains includes 21-39 year-old college graduates in the noninstitutional civilian population, October 2015-September 2016 average.
2. Comparison group for active component officer corps includes college graduates in the civilian labor force (21-49 years old), September 2016.
