TITLE 14--COAST GUARD
PART I--REGULAR COAST GUARD
CHAPTER 9--COAST GUARD ACADEMY
Sec. 188. Appointment of permanent commissioned teaching staff
The President may appoint in the Coast Guard, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, the professors, associate professors,
assistant professors, and instructors who are to serve on the permanent
commissioned teaching staff of the Academy. An original appointment to
the permanent commissioned teaching staff, unless the appointee has
served as a civilian member of the teaching staff, regular commissioned
officer, temporary commissioned officer, or reserve commissioned officer
in the Coast Guard, shall be a temporary appointment until the appointee
has satisfactorily completed a probationary term of four years of
service; thereafter he may be regularly appointed and his rank shall
date from the date of his temporary appointment in the grade in which
permanently appointed.

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15b (Apr. 16, 1937, ch.
107, Sec. 1, 50 Stat. 66; May 2, 1942, ch. 273, 56 Stat. 265).
Said section has been divided. That part of the first sentence which
provides for the composition of the teaching staff is incorporated in
section 187 of this title. The other provisions are incorporated in this
section, except for the proviso which has been omitted as no longer
needed.
This section incorporates the following changes because of the new
plan for the permanent teaching staff: the President is authorized to
appoint a candidate to any of the grades prescribed; and the
probationary term, applicable unless the candidate has served in the
Coast Guard as prescribed in this section, is increased from two to four
years. Authorization for appointment in any grade is deemed desirable in
order to permit the acquisition of outstanding instructors for the
staff. It is believed that the former two-year period was too short to
fully evaluate the capabilities of a temporary appointee. 81st Congress,
House Report No. 557.
Amendments

appointed'' for ``rank in which permanently appointed''.
1960--Pub. L. 86-474 substituted ``and instructors who are to
serve'' for ``and commissioned instructors who are to serve'', and
