form of physical exercise prior to their arrival at the Academy.

(b) In the past new cadets have been unaware of the absolute necessity for maintaining good physical condition. Candidates were of the impression that, having passed the physical examination, they were also physically fit or conditioned to meet the arduous duties required upon entrance. Experience has

proved that such is not the case. Passing the physical examination simply means that the candidate has a normal body and has no apparent serious physical defects. It does not insure normal muscular development nor proper physical fitness to undergo the initial training at the United States Military Academy without considerable difficulty.

(c) Much valuable time has been lost from instruction because of poor physical condition, sore feet, muscular soreness, strained arches, and many other physical impairments due to unaccustomed physical exertion. This loss can be avoided if all new cadet candidates begin to condition themselves immediately upon notification of appointment. The conditioning program may include daily exposure to sunlight, running, taking long hikes, swimming, and other types of exercise.

$705.16 Deposit upon entrance. (a) The cost of the uniform and personal equipment with which the new cadet is provided immediately after admission is approximately $300. This sum must be deposited with the treasurer of the Academy before the cadet is admitted. Parents of candidates are advised to forward the required deposit by draft, payable to the Treasurer, United States Military Academy, who will credit it to the new cadet's account. Cadets who exercise proper economy will have upon graddation a sufficient balance to their credit with the treasurer to purchase the initial supply of uniforms and equipment which they will need as officers.

(b) Candidates are advised, on leaving home for admission, to take with them no more money than is needed for traveling expenses. Any balance in their possession at the time of admission is deposited to their credit with the treasurer. Except for members of the armed forces, who are provided transportation or are allowed mileage as provided in Army Regulations, cadets are allowed 5 cents per mile for traveling expenses from their homes to the Military Acad

emy. Such mileage is credited to the cadet's account after his admission unless he makes a specific written request to the Commandant of Cadets that the mileage allowance be sent to his parents.

$705.17 Degree. The degree of bachelor of science is conferred at the time of graduation under the provisions of an act of Congress approved May 25, 1933, as amended by the act of Congress approved July 8, 1937 (48 Stat. 73, 50 Stat. 477; 10 U.S.C. 486a), which provides: "that the superintendents of the United States Naval Academy, the United States Military Academy, and the United States Coast Guard Academy may, under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe, confer the degree of bachelor of science upon all graduates of their respective academies, from and after the date of the accrediting of said academies by the Association of American Universities: Provided, That on and after the date of the accrediting of the said academies by the Association of American Universities the superintendents of the respective academies may, under such rules and regulations as the respective secretaries may make, confer the degree of bachelor of science upon such other living graduates of the said academies as shall have met the requirements of the respective academies for such degree." The United States Military Academy was accredited by the Association of American Universi- . ties on October 31, 1925.

§ 705.18 Promotion after graduation— (a) Appointment of officers. The act of Congress approved, May 17, 1886 (24 Stat. 50; 10 U.S.C. 486), to regulate the promotion of graduates of the United States Military Academy, provides: "That when any cadet of the United States Military Academy has gone through all its classes and received a regular diploma from the academic staff, he may be promoted and commissioned as a second lieutenant in any arm or corps of the Army in which there may be a vacancy and the duties of which he may have been judged competent to perform." The act approved June 4, 1920 (National Defense Act), section 24e as amended by the act approved April 3, 1939 (Sec. 24e, 41 Stat. 774, as amended; 10 U.S.C. 484), provides:

Except as otherwise herein provided, all appointments in the Regular Army shall be made in the grade of second lieutenant from

(b) Revocation of commission-marriage prohibited within one year. (1) Under the provisions of the act of Congress approved 25 July 1939 (53 Stat. 1074; 10 U. S C. 4843), authorizing revocation by the Secretary of War of the commission of an officer on the active list, initially commissioned after 25 July 1939, who has had less than 3 years of continuous service as a commissioned officer of the Army at the date of revocation, it is prescribed that:

a. In the case of officers serving under revocable commissions * * * the Secretary of War may revoke the commission of any officer whose conduct or performance of duty is such as not to justify his retention as an officer of the Army, or whose retention as an officer of the Army is not justified for other good and sufficient reasons appearing to the satisfaction of the Secretary of War. The action of the Secretary of War is final and conclusive. b. In case any second lieutenant commissioned in the Army after July 1, 1942, marries within 1 year subsequent to the date of his original commission, such marriage will be considered cause for the revocation of his commission. d.

An

officer whose commission is revoked under this authority will be entitled only to accrued pay and allowances upon discharge. * * f. These regulations become effective as to all officers originally commissioned in the Regular .Army after July 25, 1939.

(2) The provisions of subparagraph b of the act of Congress approved July 25, 1939, pertaining to revocation of commission-marriage prohibited within 1 year, quoted in the third subparagraph have been waived by the Secretary of War for the duration of the war, but will again become effective July 1, 1949.

§ 705.19 Pay and allowances of cadets. (a) The pay of the cadet is $780 per annum plus the cost of 'one ration per day. The latter item varies with the cost of food. The total of such pay and allowances, when added to the new cadet's initial deposit, is sufficient to meet the cadet's actual needs at the Academy.

(b) Except for members of the armed forces who are provided Government transportation or allowed mileage in accordance with Army Regulations, mileage at 5 cents per mile, for traveling expenses from their homes is credited to the account of cadets after their admission to the Academy.

(c) Obtaining money from outside sources is regarded with disfavor, unless it be for purposes specifically authorized in the Budget of a Cadet's Pay or in Regulations, United States Cadet Corps.

(d) New cadets who own Government life insurance and who wish to authorize pay-roll deductions for premium payments may make provision for the deposit of sufficient outside funds to cover such payments. Deposits for that purpose may be made with the Treasurer, United States Military Academy, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually.

or

§ 705.20 Uniforms and supplies. Cadets are required to wear the prescribed uniform. All articles of their uniform and equipment, including bedding, shoes, and underwear, are of a designated pattern, and are sold to cadets at West Point at regulated prices. It is not necessary for candidates to make special preparation for their stay at the academy, although there is no objection to their bringing with them such supplies of underwear, toilet accessories, etc., as they may have. Should a trunk be brought, it should be of the Army trunk locker type, 2934 by 16 by 12 inches in size, and in good condition. If a candidate does not have such a trunk, he should wait until his arrival at the academy to procure one. Everything needed can be secured from the cadet store at West Point.

§ 705.21 Communications. Communications relating to matters connected with the Military Academy should be addressed to The Adjutant General, The Pentagon, Washington 25, D. C.

§ 706.2 Applicants for enlistment or selectees. Applicants for enlistment or selectees discovered to be psychotic after arrival at a military station, and before the completion of their enlistment or induction, will be disposed of as follows:

(a) Those whose release will be unattended by danger to themselves or others will be rejected and disposed of under the regulations governing the disposal of other rejected applicants or selectees.

(b) Those whose psychosis is of a type that would probably make their release dangerous to themselves or others will be delivered to relatives or to the civil authorities designated by law to apply for the commitment of psychotic or insane persons residing in the place where they applied for enlistment or at place of induction. The station commander will provide the necessary escort for such delivery, and issue the necessary travel orders, transportation, and subsistence (in kind or by commutation, as may be most suitable). If they refuse to accept the patient, report will be made to The Adjutant General.

(c) On the day of departure of the patient, his immediate commanding officer will make and sign an inventory, in triplicate, of the patient's effects, money, and valuables. Two copies of the inventory listing the patient's money and valuables, together with the money and valuables, will be turned over, or sent by registered mail to the manager or superintendent of the institution to which the patient is delivered, or to the relative or civilian agency assuming the custody of the patient, with a request that one copy of the inventory be receipted. In the case of a patient transferred to a Veterans' Administration hospital, any money of the patient on deposit in the patients' fund will be transmitted by check drawn by the custodian to the order of "Manager, Veterans' Administration Hospital, a/c

forwarded by registered mail to such guardian upon presentation of proper evidence of his or her authority. If such money and valuables are turned over to a guardian a receipt therefor will be obtained; if forwarded by registered mail, a receipt will be inclosed with instructions that it be signed and returned. The other effects of the patient, such as clothing, together with two copies of the inventory of these effects, will accompany the patient as baggage. One copy of the inventory will be receipted by the relative or civilian agency assuming custody of the patient or by a responsible person in the institution to which the patient is delivered and will be returned for file. Prior to the patient's departure, the commanding officer will advise the institution or relative of the fact, stating the time when the patient may be expected to arrive.
