submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 196 words · no verdicts yet
This law sets military ranks for senior faculty and the admissions director at a military academy. Most permanent professors and the admissions director start as lieutenant colonels and rise to colonel after six years. Officers from the Regular Army may get colonel earlier if they would have been promoted sooner anyway.
(a) A permanent professor at the Academy — other than the Dean of the Academic Board — who leads a department, or who has served as a professor for more than six years, holds the rank* of colonel. But a permanent professor who came from the Regular Army* becomes a colonel either after finishing six years as a professor, or on the date they would have been promoted if selected for promotion in the normal promotion process — whichever date comes first. Every other permanent professor holds the rank of lieutenant colonel.
(b) A person appointed as the Academy's director of admissions starts with the regular rank of lieutenant colonel. After serving six years as director, that person becomes a colonel. But a director who came from the Regular Army becomes a colonel either after finishing six years as director, or on the date they would have been promoted through the normal Regular Army promotion process — whichever date comes first.
A permanent professor of the Academy, other than the Dean of the Academic Board, who is the head of a department of instruction, or who has served as such a professor for more than six years, has the grade* of colonel. However, a permanent professor appointed from the Regular Army* has the grade of colonel after the date when he completes six years of service as a professor, or after the date on which he would have been promoted had he been selected for promotion from among officers in the promotion zone, whichever is earlier. All other permanent professors have the grade of lieutenant colonel.
A person appointed as director of admissions of the Academy has the regular grade of lieutenant colonel, and, after he has served six years as director of admissions, has the regular grade of colonel. However, a person appointed from the Regular Army has the regular grade of colonel after the date when he completes six years of service as director of admissions, or after the date on which he would have been promoted had he been selected for promotion from among officers in the promotion zone, whichever is earlier.
