34 U.S.C. 735b. |
June 13, 1949, ch. 199, §3, 63 Stat. 175. |
In subsection (a) the words "in civil life" are added to indicate that regular enlisted members, to be eligible, must be discharged as is required by subsection (b).
In subsection (b) the words before the first proviso are omitted as executed. The words "after June 13, 1949" in the first proviso, relating to a declaration of emergency by Congress, are omitted as executed. The emergencies existing on June 13, 1949, have expired, as indicated in the Act of July 3, 1952, ch. 570, 66 Stat. 333. The word "Regular" is inserted before "Navy" and "Marine Corps" to preserve the meaning of this provision which distinguishes members of the reserve components from members of the Navy and the Marine Corps. The words "who are discharged for the purpose of enlisting as aviation cadets" are added. Since discharge from a regular component must precede enlistment in a reserve component, the designation language of 34 U.S.C. 735b, although appropriate to the Air Force counterpart to which it also applies, is inappropriate to this section.
Subsection (c) is written as a condition precedent to enlistment or transfer, and not as a requirement, to conform with interpretation of the provision.

§8413. Aviation cadets: appointment as reserve officers
(a) An aviation cadet who fulfills the requirements of section 2003 of this title may be appointed an ensign in the Navy Reserve or a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve and designated a naval aviator.
(b) Aviation cadets who complete their training at approximately the same time are considered for all purposes to have begun their commissioned service on the same date, and the decision of the Secretary of the Navy in this regard is conclusive.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 427, §6913; Pub. L. 96–513, title V, §513(20), Dec. 12, 1980, 94 Stat. 2932; Pub. L. 109–163, div. A, title V, §515(b)(1)(O), Jan. 6, 2006, 119 Stat. 3233; renumbered §8413, Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, §807(c)(1), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1836.)

The words "and designated a naval aviator" are added for clarity and to authorize specifically the designation, which is implied in 34 U.S.C. 850f.

In subsection (a) the authority to designate student aviation pilots is expressly set forth.
The portion of 34 U.S.C. 841h that provides that student aviation pilots who are qualified civilian aviators shall be given a brief refresher course in flight training is contained in subsection (c). The remainder of 34 U.S.C. 841h, which provides that such pilots shall not be considered as having been designated pursuant to 34 U.S.C. 841a–841h, is reflected in subsection (b) by making that subsection applicable only to student aviation pilots who are not qualified civilian aviators. No other consequences attach to designation as student aviation pilots under the particular provisions. In subsection (b) the word "continuous" is omitted as covered by the word "period", and the subsection is written as a condition precedent to designation, because it is so interpreted.
In subsection (c) the words "enlisted in or transferred to pilot ratings" are omitted as surplusage.
Subsection (e) states expressly the authority to designate aviation pilots, which is implied in 34 U.S.C. 841a, 841b, and 841d.
In subsection (f) the words "pay grade E–5" are substituted for the words "third grade" in 34 U.S.C. 841b to conform to the terminology of the Career Compensation Act of 1949 (37 U.S.C. 231 et seq.).
In subsection (h) the words "of the Naval Reserve or the Marine Corps Reserve" are substituted for the words "designated as such in accordance with sections 841a and 841b of this title" for uniformity.
