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 gains includes 18-39 year-old members of the civilian labor force, October 2015-September 2016 average.  Comparison group for active component warrant officers includes 18-49 year-old members of the civilian labor force, September 2016.
