An officer appointed to a higher grade under this chapter is treated as accepting the appointment on the date it is made, unless the officer expressly declines it or is granted a delay of promotion under section 14312. (b) Oath. An officer who has served continuously since taking the oath of office under section 3331 of title 5 does not need to take a new oath when appointed to a higher grade under this chapter.
