submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 48 words · no verdicts yet
When the Marine Corps has openings for second lieutenant, it fills them in a set order. Naval Academy graduates get first priority, followed by qualified enlisted Marines. Anyone else can be considered only after those two groups.
Vacancies on the active-duty list* of the Marine Corps in the grade* of second lieutenant shall be filled, so far as practicable, first, from members of the graduating class of the Naval Academy; second, from meritorious noncommissioned officers of the Regular Marine Corps; and third, from other persons.
