Sec. 21.58  Physical examination for reappointment.



    Every officer of the Reserve Corps being considered for 

reappointment shall undergo such physical examination as the Surgeon 

General may direct. An officer on active duty may be recommended for 

reappointment unless he is found to have a physical disability which is 

determined to render him physically unfit to perform the duties of his 

office under section 402 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, as 

amended. An officer may be recommended for promotion only if he meets 

the physical qualifications for original appointment. If an officer is 

not available to be physically examined because of circumstances which 

make it impracticable for the Service to require such examination, he 

may, in the discretion of the Surgeon General, be reappointed without 

such examination, but shall be examined as soon thereafter as 

practicable and his physical qualification or disqualification for 

continued or future active service shall be determined on the same basis 

as if the physical examination had been given prior to reappointment.
