This law explains how Navy and Marine Corps officers of the same grade rank among each other. Rank is set by each officer's date of rank in that grade. This applies whether or not officers are on an active-duty list.

Unless an officer is entitled to a higher rank than their grade would normally give them, officers rank among each other based on their date of rank within that grade. This applies to Navy line officers and staff corps officers serving in the same grade, and to Marine Corps officers serving in the corresponding grade. It does not matter whether the officers are on an active-duty list or not.
