Sec.  21.47  Examination; anticipation of meeting qualifications.



    A potential candidate for appointment in any grade in the Regular 

Corps may be examined within a period of nine months prior to the date 

upon which it is anticipated that he will qualify for appointment under 

this subpart. Upon successful completion of the examination, his name 

will be entered on a merit roll. In the event that his name, in order of 

relative standing among all candidates, precedes that of fully qualified 

candidates, his name, for purpose of appointment, shall be passed over 

in favor of fully qualified candidates until such time as he becomes 

fully qualified, but in no event shall he otherwise lose his relative 

standing on the merit roll, except as provided in Sec.  21.46. If the 

candidate fails to qualify for appointment at the time that it was 

anticipated that he would qualify, his name shall be removed from the 

merit roll.
