The definitions in clauses (1) and (2), (6)—(10), (14)-(21), and (24) reflect the adoption of terminology which, though undefined in the source statutes restated in this revised title, represent the closest practicable approximation of the ways in which the terms defined have been most commonly used, and so far as possible are identical to those used in title 10, United States Code, containing most of the basic law relating to the armed forces.

In clause (4), that part of section 32(a) of existing title 37 relating other than to the enumeration of the armed forces is omitted as unnecessary.

In subsection (a), the words "whether under temporary or permanent appointment" are omitted as surplusage. The words "the following pay grades" are substituted for the words "the various pay grades prescribed for commissioned officers by subsection (a) of this section, as follows". The words “(other than a commissioned warrant officer)" are inserted to conform to the definition of "warrant officer" in section 101 (13) of this revised title. In subsection (b), the words "with two or less years of service computed under section 205 of this title" are substituted for the word "minimum".

In subsections (c) and (e), the words "with two or less years of service computed under section 205 of this title" are substituted for the words "with under two cumulative years' service" and "with under two cumulative years of service", in sections 308 and 232(e), respectively, of existing title 37.

In subsection (e), the words "enlisted or appointed under the Army Aviation Cadet Act, as amended, or under the Naval Aviation Cadet Act of 1942, as amended" are omitted as obsolete and surplusage. Both of the cited

acts were repealed by section 53 of the Act of August 10, 1956, ch. 1041 (70A Stat. 641), and replaced by various sections of title 10. Further reference is surplusage, however, since aviation cadets are not appointed or enlisted under any provision of law other than the sections of title 10 embodying the former Army Aviation Cadet Act and the Naval Aviation Cadet Act of 1942. The word "basic" is inserted for clarity, since the word "pay" as defined in section 101 (21) of this revised title includes special and incentive pays. Incentive pay for aviation cadets is provided in section 301(b) of this revised title.

In subsection (f), the words "While on active duty", in section 6915(f) of title 10 and section 758a(f) of title 14, are omitted as covered by section 204 of this title which prescribes the conditions under which members of the uniformed services are entitled to basic pay. The words "Unless he is entitled to the basic pay of a higher pay grade" are substituted for the words "or that of his grade, whichever is greater" in section 6915(f) of title 10 and section 758a (f) of title 14.

In subsection (g), the words "Except as provided by subsections (e) and (f)" are inserted to reflect those subsections relating to enlisted aviation cadets or aviation pilots.

SHORT TITLE

L. 88-132 provided: "That this Act [enacting sections 310 and 427 of this title and section 1401a of Title 10; amending sections 201, 203, 301, 302, 305, 403, and 421 of this title, sections 1401, 1402, 3991, 6151, 6223, 6325-6327, 6381, 6383, 6390, 6394, 6396, 6398 6400, 6483, and 8991 of Title 10, section 423 of Title 14, section 857a of Title 33 and section 213a of Title 42; repealing section 6149 of Title 10 and sections 2351-2356 of Title 50, Appendix; and enacting provisions set out as notes under sections 201, 203, and 305 of this title, section 1402 of Title 10 and section 411 of Title 38] may be cited as the 'Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1963'."

§ 202. Pay grades: assignment to; rear admirals of upper half; officers holding certain positions in the Navy.

(a) An officer not restricted in the performance of duty on the active list in the line of the Navy serving in the grade of rear admiral is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half from the date on which the number of officers not restricted in the performance of duty on the active list in the line of the Navy serving in the grade of rear admiral below him on the lineal list becomes equal to or greater than the number of such officers above him on the lineal list. For the purpose of determining the number of rear admirals of the upper half, an officer not restricted in the performance of duty on the active list in the line of the Navy serving in the grade of admiral or vice admiral is considered as having the grade and position on the lineal list he would have if he had not been appointed admiral or vice admiral.

(b) An officer restricted in the performance of duty on the active list in the line of the Navy serving in the grade of rear admiral is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half from the date on which any officer below him on the lineal list becomes entitled to that pay under subsection (a) of this section.

(c) An officer on the active list of the Navy in a staff corps serving in the grade of rear admiral is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half from the date on which his running mate becomes entitled to that pay under this section, but not before the date of the vacancy he was promoted to fill.

(d) A rear admiral of the Naval Reserve entitled to basic pay is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half when any officer on the active list in the line of the Navy junior to him is in the upper half of the grade of rear admiral as determined under subsection (a) of this section.

(e) An officer of the Navy or the Coast Guard holding a permanent appoinment in the grade of rear admiral on the retired list who is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the lower half and who, in time of war or national emergency, has served satisfactorily on active duty for two years in that grade or in a higher grade is entitled when on active duty to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half.

(f) Except for those whose basic pay is otherwise specifically authorized by law, the number of rear admirals on the active list of the Coast Guard entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half is one-half of the number of officers on the active list in that grade. If that division results in an odd number, the odd number shall be placed in the upper half. However, an officer who is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half may not have his basic pay reduced solely because the number of rear admirals is reduced.

(g) Unless appointed to a higher grade under another provision of law, an officer of the Marine Corps, while serving as Judge Advocate General of the Navy or as Chief of the Bureau of Naval Weapons, is entitled to the basic pay of a major general.

(h) Unless appointed to a higher grade under another provision of law, an officer of the naval service who is serving in one of the following positions is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half

(1) Director of Budget and Reports;
(2) Chief of Naval Materiel;

(3) Chief of a Bureau;

(4) Chief of the Dental Division in the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery;

(5) Chief of Chaplains;

(6) Judge Advocate General of the Navy; or

(7) Chief of Naval Research.

(i) An officer of the naval service who is serving in one of the following positions is entitled to the highest pay of his rank

(1) Assistant Director of Budget and Reports: (2) detailed to duty as a Deputy Chief of a Bureau;

(3) detailed as Assistant Judge Advocate General of the Navy;

(4) Assistant Chief of Naval Research; or
(5) Assistant Commandant of the Marine

Corps.

(j) An officer on the active list of the Navy in the grade of rear admiral who is serving as Deputy Comptroller of the Navy is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half. (Pub. L. 87649, Sept. 7, 1962, 76 Stat. 454.)
