    Sec. 9836. Individual equipment: unauthorized disposition

-STATUTE-
      (a) No enlisted member of the Air Force may sell, lend, pledge,
    barter, or give any clothing, arms, or equipment furnished him by
    the United States to any person other than a member of the Air
    Force, or an officer of the United States, authorized to receive
    it.
      (b) If a member of the Air Force has disposed of property in
    violation of subsection (a) and it is in the possession of a person
    who is neither a member of the Air Force, nor an officer of the
    United States, authorized to receive it, that person has no right
    to or interest in the property, and any civil or military officer
    of the United States may seize it, wherever found. Possession of
    such property furnished by the United States to a member of the Air
    Force, by a person who is neither a member of the Air Force nor an
    officer of the United States, is prima facie evidence that it has
    been disposed of in violation of subsection (a).
      (c) If an officer who seizes property under subsection (b) is not
    authorized to retain it for the United States, he shall deliver it
    to a person who is authorized to retain it.

      In subsection (g), the words "bought on credit under section
    9621(a)(1) of this title" are substituted for the words "designated
    by the officers of the Inspector-General's Department of the Army
    and purchased on credit from commissaries of subsistence".

                                 1958 ACT                             
      The change [in subsec. (b)] reflects the opinion of the Judge
    Advocate General of the Air Force (June 10, 1957) that the term
    "rate of pay", as used in the source law for section 9837(b) (Act
    of May 22, 1928, ch. 676 (45 Stat. 698), as amended), included
    special pay and incentive pay.
      The change [in subsec. (f)] reflects the opinion of the Assistant
    General Counsel (Fiscal Matters), Department of Defense (July 19,
    1957), that section 1304, Revised Statutes (formerly 10 U.S.C.
    872), the source law for this section, applied to warrant officers
    as well as to commissioned officers.

                                AMENDMENTS                            
      2006 - Pub. L. 109-163 amended section catchline and text
    generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: "If he
    considers it in the best interest of the United States, the
    Secretary may have remitted or cancelled any part of an enlisted
    member's indebtedness to the United States or any of its
    instrumentalities remaining unpaid before, or at the time of, that
    member's honorable discharge."
      Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 109-364, Sec. 673(e)(3), substituted "The
    Secretary of the Air Force" for "If the Secretary considers it to
    be in the best interest of the United States, the Secretary" and
    inserted before period at end ", but only if the Secretary
    considers such action to be in the best interest of the United
    States".
      Pub. L. 109-364, Sec. 673(c)(1), which directed amendment of
    subsec. (a) by substituting "of a person to the United States or
    any instrumentality of the United States incurred while the person
    was serving on active duty as a member of the Air Force" for "of a
    member" and all that follows through "on active duty", was executed
    by making the substitution for "of a member of the Air Force on
    active duty, or a member of a reserve component of the Air Force in
    an active status, to the United States or any instrumentality of
    the United States incurred while the member was serving on active
    duty", thus making the substitution for "of a member" and all that
    follows through "on active duty" the second place it appeared, to
    reflect the probable intent of Congress.
      Subsecs. (b) to (d). Pub. L. 109-364, Sec. 673(c)(2),
    redesignated subsecs. (c) and (d) as (b) and (c), respectively, and
    struck out heading and text of former subsec. (b). Text read as
    follows: "The Secretary may exercise the authority in subsection
    (a) with respect to a member - 
        "(1) while the member is on active duty or in active status, as
      the case may be;
        "(2) if discharged from the armed forces under honorable
      conditions, during the one-year period beginning on the date of
      such discharge; or
        "(3) if released from active status in a reserve component,
      during the one-year period beginning on the date of such
      release."
      1980 - Pub. L. 96-513 substituted "remission or cancellation of
    indebtedness of enlisted members" for "deductions from pay" in
    section catchline, and struck out designation "(d)" before "If he".
      1962 - Pub. L. 87-649 repealed subsecs. (a) to (c) and (e) to (g)
    which related to deductions from pay. See subsecs. (b) to (g) of
    section 1007 of Title 37, Pay and Allowances of the Uniformed
    Services.
      1958 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(45)(A),
    substituted "his pay for that month" for "his basic pay for that
    month".
      Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(45)(B), substituted "an
    officer" for "a commissioned officer" in two places.

-STATUTE-
      Before final payment upon discharge may be made to an officer of
    the Air Force who has been accountable or responsible for public
    property, he must obtain a certificate of nonindebtedness to the
    United States from each officer to whom he was accountable or
    responsible for property. He must also make an affidavit, certified
    by his commanding officer to be correct, that he is not accountable
    or responsible for property to any other officer. An officer who
    has not been responsible for public property must make an affidavit
    of that fact, certified by his commanding officer. Compliance with
    this section warrants the final payment of the officer concerned.

    or nonresponsibility to other bureaus of the Department of the
    Army" for the same reason. The reference to certificates from the
