Race/Ethnicity and Gender

The USCG percentage of Whites was slightly higher than the overall DoD rate for officer accessions (83 and 79 percent, respectively) and officers (86 and 83 percent, respectively), as shown in Table 7.7. By gender, the USCG officer accessions were equally as likely to be male as were DoD officer accessions (80 percent each). However, members of the USCG’s officer corps were slightly more likely to be male than were DoD officers (86 and 84 percent, respectively).
