1. 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
2. The Army National Guard (ARNG) does not report data on the number of enlisted gains in the "Two or more" category.  Caution should be used in comparing the racial composition of the ARNG's enlisted gains with those of the other Selected Reserve components.
3. American Indian, Alaska Native
4. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
5. The US Army Reserve (USAR) does not report data on the number of enlisted gains in the "Two or more" category. Caution should be used in comparing the racial composition of the USAR's enlisted gains with those of the other Selected Reserve components.
