This section establishes aviation cadet status in the naval service and sets rules for recruiting, required service, and later transfer or discharge. It reserves a portion of annual cadet procurement for qualified Regular Navy and Marine Corps enlisted members, except during war or a congressional emergency.
(a) Aviation cadet is a special enlisted grade* in the naval service. Under Navy Secretary regulations, civilians may enlist as aviation cadets, and enlisted naval-service members may consent to designation as aviation cadets. (b) Unless there is a war or a congressional emergency, 20 percent of aviation cadets procured each fiscal year must come from qualified enlisted members of the Regular Navy and Regular Marine Corps. (c) A person may be enlisted or designated only if (1) the person agrees in writing to accept, after successfully completing aviation-cadet training, a commission as a Navy Reserve ensign or Marine Corps Reserve second lieutenant and to serve on active duty* in that role for at least 3 years unless released sooner; and (2) a person under 21 has the parent’s or guardian’s consent. (d) Under Secretary regulations, an aviation cadet may be transferred to another enlisted grade or rating*, released from active duty, or discharged.
The grade* of aviation cadet is a special enlisted grade in the naval service. Under such regulations as the Secretary of the Navy prescribes, citizens in civil life may be enlisted as, and enlisted members of the naval service with their consent may be designated as, aviation cadets.
Except in time of war or emergency declared by Congress, 20 percent of the aviation cadets procured in each fiscal year shall be procured from qualified enlisted members of the Regular Navy and the Regular Marine Corps.
No person may be enlisted or designated as an aviation cadet unless—
he agrees in writing that, upon his successful completion of the course of training as an aviation cadet, he will accept a commission as an ensign in the Navy Reserve or a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve, and will serve on active duty* as such for at least three years, unless sooner released; and
if under 21 years of age, he has the consent of his parent or guardian to his agreement.
Under such regulations as the Secretary prescribes, an aviation cadet may be transferred to another enlisted grade or rating* in the naval service, released from active duty, or discharged.
