Active Duty Military Personnel:
If they listed Dept. of Defense with a branch of the military I counted it or if they listed Dept. of (branch of service). Otherwise I did not. I think this is the fairest assumption to make. Their a A LOT of DOD employees who are NOT military. So someone simply putting DOD as employer does not in anyway signify that even ever served a day in the military.
The reserves/National Guard are NOT active duty UNLESS they are currently called up. Only a small % is usually on active duty at any given time and we would have no way of knowing if this was the case or not. So I added them in a separate category.
