period in question to resolve discrepancies. If the unit's records show that the number of drills reported to the Reserve Officer Recording Activity does not compare with the annual report received by the officer concerned, a certified copy of the drill report(s) in question should be submitted to the Recording Activity for reconciliation. If the unit's records show that the officer's drills were not properly reported initially, the Commanding Officer should prepare a supplemental or corrected report as outlined in the Instructions for the Naval Manpower Information System, NAVPERS 15642, Part I, Inactive. Supplemental or corrected drill reports covering officer drill attendance which is more than 11 calendar months old shall be certified and monitored as prescribed in § 713.217.

(3) For correspondence courses, if a certificate has been received, the officer concerned should submit a certified copy to the Reserve Officer Recording Activity. If a certificate has not been received, the officer concerned should address an inquiry to the U.S. Naval Correspondence Course Center, Scotia, N.Y., for courses administered by that center, or to the cognizant activity administering the correspondence course. (See articles D-4102 and D-4108 of the Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual.) [32 F.R. 6029, Apr. 15, 1967]

§ 713.222 Enlisted service record.

(a) The Enlisted Service Record, NavPers-601, shall be opened and maintained for each person enlisted, reenlisted, or inducted in the Naval Reserve. Complete instructions regarding the enlisted service record are contained in Part B, Chapter 2, Section 3 of the Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual. [26 F.R. 9453, Oct. 7, 1961, as amended at 29 F.R. 18276, Dec. 24, 1964]

ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS AND

(b) Active duty: Reservists on active duty shall be governed in the same manner as personnel of the Regular Navy, except where otherwise precluded by law, in accordance with instructions contained in the Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual or in such directives as may be issued by the Chief of Naval Personnel.

(c) Inactive duty: Reservists on inactive duty shall be governed as provided in the Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual (Part H of which is set forth as Subpart A of this part) or in such directives as may be issued by the Chief of Naval Personnel.

[26 F.R. 9453, Oct. 7, 1961, as amended at 28 F.R. 589, Jan. 23, 1963]

§ 713.302

Composition of boards.

All boards convened for the appointment, promotion, demotion, involuntary release from active duty, discharge, or retirement of reservists shall include appropriate numbers of reservists as prescribed by the Secretary of the Navy. GENERAL PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS § 713.311 Basic qualifications.

(a) Unless otherwise required by law, no person, other than a person who has had prior service in the Armed Forces of the United States or the National Security Training Corps, shall be appointed or enlisted in the Naval Reserve who is not a citizen of the United States, its Territories or possessions, or who has not made a declaration of intent to become a citizen thereof. The Chief of Naval Personnel will prescribe citizenship requirements for membership in the Naval Reserve within these limitations.

(b) With the exception of the Naval Militia, members of the Naval Reserve may not be members of any other military organization.

§ 713.312 Availability for mobilization.

(a) A basic requisite of the Naval Reserve is its availability for immediate mobilization, and its members are under a continuous liability therefor. Applicants should understand that upon accepting any Naval Reserve status it is continuously assumed thereafter that they are available immediately for any naval service as the national security may require or as otherwise authorized by law.

(b) Individuals whose availability for mobilization is considered by the Chief of Naval Personnel to be incompatible

with the availability requirements above shall not be appointed or enlisted in the Naval Reserve unless they have special qualifications or are able to perform services which are of such outstanding value to the Navy, that their enlistment or appointment in the Naval Reserve is approved by the Chief of Naval Personnel even though their civilian status may possibly preclude their being ordered to active duty.

(c) Availability for mobilization of persons employed in merchant ships will not be a factor in determining eligibility for commission or enlistment in the Naval Reserve. It is considered that the mobilization of such reservists, other than those serving in ships taken over by the Navy, would unduly interfere with normal operation of the Merchant Marine. Insofar as practicable, it is therefore proposed to man merchant ships placed in commission with their own licensed and unlicensed personnel.

APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS

§ 713.321 Responsibility for procure

ment.

(a) In implementing policies established by the Secretary of the Navy relative to the over-all needs of the Naval Establishment for Naval Reserve officers, the Chief of Naval Personnel will issue appropriate procurement directives to Navy Recruiting Stations and to other service activities. These directives will contain the basic authority for the procurement of Naval Reserve officers and officer candidates and will outline specific requirements of procurement programs involved, as well as processing procedures.

(b) Officers in charge of the Navy Recruiting Stations and other activities specifically designated by the Chief of Naval Personnel shall process and recommend civilian applicants and enlisted Naval Reserve applicants not on active duty for appointment as officers and officer candidates of the Naval Reserve, in accordance with directives issued by the Chief of Naval Personnel.

(c) Commanding officers of enlisted personnel on active duty shall forward applications of persons within their commands who are applicants for appointment in the Naval Reserve and who are applying for appointment under the authority of specific directives issued by the Chief of Naval Personnel.

(d) The Chief of Naval Personnel will approve or disapprove applicants for

50-075-71-10

appointment in the Naval Reserve and may recommend such applicants as meet requirements to the Secretary of the Navy for appointment. In making recommendations, due consideration will be given by the Chief of Naval Personnel to the recommendations of the Navy Recruiting Stations or the commanding officer through whom the application is submitted, to the representative of the bureau or office of the Navy Department having cognizance of the specialty for which the appointment is sought as to professional qualifications, and to the recommendations of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery as to physical qualifications.

a temporary officer, if not sooner terminated, shall continue during the national emergency or war in which the appointment was made and for six months thereafter.

§ 713.326

Officer candidate and student officer procurement.

(a) The following programs are maintained to provide for appointment to commissioned grade in the Naval Reserve:

(1) The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) is established in units located at certain colleges and universities in the United States. Men attending such schools may enroll in the NROTC program as contract students and, upon graduation, will be commissioned as ensigns in the Naval Reserve. Contract students must pay their own educational expenses. The Navy provides the required uniforms and pays a ration allowance during the junior and senior years. Further information may be obtained from the Professor of Naval Science at the NROTC institution in which the student is in attendance. (Part C of the Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual contains regulations concerning qualifications for appointment. See Part 711 of this chapter.)

(2) The Reserve Officer Candidate (ROC) Program is designed for male students attending college. Applicants must have reached the 17th anniversary of birth at the time of making application but must not be of such age that they will be more than 271⁄2 years of age on the prospective date of qualification for commission, i.e., completion of the educational and training requirements. Applicants for this program may have inactive enlisted status in the Naval Reserve or may be civilians. They must be attending, as a full-time student in good scholastic standing, an accredited junior college, college, or university. Selected applicants who are not members of the Naval Reserve are required to enlist in the Naval Reserve prior to entering the program and attaining ROC status.

(3) The Officer Candidate (OC) Program provides a course of training for selected college graduates leading to a commission in the line, restricted line, or staff corps of the Naval Reserve. Selected civilian applicants are enlisted in the Naval Reserve as officer candidates. Selected enlisted applicants are

designated as officer candidates within their present pay grades.

(4) The Naval Aviation Cadet (NavCad) Program is open to unmarried men between the ages of 18 and 25 who meet the physical, professional, and psychological standards required for flight training. A person over 25 years of age who is otherwise qualified may be enlisted in the program when justified by exceptional circumstances and approved by the Secretary of the Navy. Selected applicants for this program who successfully complete the prescribed flight training are designated as naval aviators and commissioned in the Naval Reserve.

(5) The Aviation Officer Candidate (AOC) Program is for selected college graduates between the ages of 19 and 26, unless otherwise authorized by the Secretary of the Navy, who meet the physical, professional and psychological standards required for flight training. Selected civilian applicants are enlisted in the Naval Reserve as Aviation Officer Candidates. Selected enlisted applicants enter the program as Officer Candidates in their present pay grade, but not lower than pay grade E-2. Aviation Officer Candidates who successfully complete the four months Officer Indoctrination Course, if qualified, are commissioned as ensigns in the Naval Reserve, and upon successful completion of flight training are designated Naval Aviators.

(6) The Naval Aviation Officer Candidate (NAOC) Program is for selected college graduates between 19 and 272 years of age at the time of appointment who meet the physical, professional and psychological standards required for this training. Selected civilian candidates are enlisted in the Naval Reserve as NAOC (1355) SA. Selected enlisted applicants enter this program in their present pay grade, but in no case lower than pay grade E-2. Naval Aviation Officer Candidates who successfully complete the four-month Officer Indoctrination Course, if qualified, are commissioned as Reserve Officers in the U.S. Navy, and are then assigned specialized training as Naval Aviation Observers or Aviation Specialists.

(7) The Nursing Education Program: The Nursing Education Program provides an avenue whereby selected women of the U.S. Navy and Naval Reserve on active duty may qualify for appointment in the Nurse Corps, Naval Reserve after appropriate subsidized training in approved nursing schools. Detailed infor

mation concerning this program is contained in current Bureau of Naval Personnel directives.

(8) The Navy Nurse Corps Candidate Program is for selected civilian women students enrolled in approved nursing schools. Accepted applicants are enlisted in the Naval Reserve in pay grade E-3 for active duty during the final scholastic year. Following graduation and receipt of a baccalaureate degree in nursing, if qualified, participants are appointed in the Nurse Corps, Naval Reserve. Detailed information concerning this program is contained in current instructions.

(b) Applicants for any of the aforementioned programs must meet the physical standards for appointment as set forth in the Manual of the Medical Department, U.S. Navy.

(c) The Chief of Naval Personnel will prescribe appropriate regulations and processing procedures to implement the foregoing programs.
