10 U.S.C. § 8460 — Midshipmen: clothing and equipment; uniform allowance

submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 109 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Navy charges new midshipmen for their first set of clothes and gear, deducted from their pay. If a midshipman leaves before graduating while still owing money for that gear, they must turn in military clothing and equipment to cover the debt. Any leftover debt is simply cancelled.

When a midshipman is first admitted to the Naval Academy, the Secretary of the Navy may set an amount to charge them for their initial clothing and equipment. That amount is deducted from the midshipman's pay. If a midshipman is discharged before graduating while still owing money for that clothing and equipment, they must turn in as much of their military-style clothing and equipment as needed to repay the debt. If what they turn in isn't worth enough to cover the full debt, the rest of the debt is simply cancelled.

The Secretary of the Navy may prescribe the amount to be credited to a midshipman, upon original admission to the Naval Academy, for the cost of his initial issue of clothing and equipment. That amount shall be deducted from his pay. If a midshipman is discharged before graduation while owing the United States for pay advanced for the purchase of required clothing and equipment, he shall turn in as much of his clothing and equipment of a distinctively military nature as is necessary to repay the amount advanced. If the value of the clothing and equipment turned in does not cover the amount owed, the indebtedness shall be canceled.
