History
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 324, §5585; Pub. L. 96–513, title V, §503(29), Dec. 12, 1980, 94 Stat. 2913; renumbered §8135, Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, §807(b)(4), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1834.)
Editorial Notes
The words "from other persons" are substituted for the words "from civil life" because 34 U.S.C. 1020e authorizes the appointment of graduates of the NROTC program as well as of other persons in civil life. Such graduates are, properly, persons in "civil life", since they are members of the Naval Reserve who are not on active duty. However, since the status of members of the NROTC is not always clear, the statement of the class is expanded.
