AFQT

FY 2002 Selected Reserve NPS accessions are compared with civilian youth by AFQT category and Reserve Components in Table 5.7. The percentage of Reservist recruits who scored in AFQT Categories I to IIIA was much higher than for comparable civilians (66 versus 50 percent). Because the data provided by DMDC includes a great deal of unkowns, data for Table 5.7 was provided y OUSD (MPP)/Accession Policy and may differ from appendix tables (see Appendix Table C-5 or C-6). The DOD information Table 5.7 represents 76 percent of the total number of NPS Selected Reserve Enlisted Accessions
