‘‘Appointments to cadetships shall be made under 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary, who shall deter-
mine age limits, methods of selection of applicants, term 
of service as a cadet before graduation, and all other mat-
ters affecting such appointments. In the administration of 
this section, the Secretary shall take such action as may 
be necessary and appropriate to insure that female individ-
uals shall be eligible for appointment and admission to the 
Coast Guard Academy, and that the relevant standards 
required for appointment, admission, training, graduation, 
and commissioning of female individuals shall be the same 
as those required for male individuals, except for those

quired because of physiological differences between male

dets shall be subject to rules governing discipline pre-
scribed by the Commandant.
‘‘§ 1925. Agreement 
‘‘(a) Each cadet shall sign an agreement with respect

lowing:

instruction at the Coast Guard Academy. 
‘‘(2) That upon graduation from the Coast 
Guard Academy the cadet— 
‘‘(A) will accept an appointment, if ten-
dered, as a commissioned officer of the Coast 
Guard; and 
‘‘(B) will serve on active duty for at least 
five years immediately after such appointment. 
‘‘(3) That if an appointment described in para-
graph (2) is not tendered or if the cadet is permitted

‘‘(A) will accept an appointment as a com-
missioned officer in the Coast Guard Reserve; 
and

until completion of the commissioned service ob-
ligation of the cadet.
‘‘(b)(1) The Secretary may transfer to the Coast 
Guard Reserve, and may order to active duty for such pe-
riod of time as the Secretary prescribes (but not to exceed

stitutes, for the purpose of subsection (b), a breach 
of an agreement under subsection (a);
‘‘(2) procedures for determining whether such a 
breach has occurred; and 
‘‘(3) standards for determining the period of 
time for which a person may be ordered to serve on 
active duty under subsection (b). 
‘‘(d) In this section, ‘commissioned service obliga-
tion’, with respect to an officer who is a graduate of the 
Academy, means the period beginning on the date of the 
officer’s appointment as a commissioned officer and end-
ing on the sixth anniversary of such appointment or, at 
the discretion of the Secretary, any later date up to the 
eighth anniversary of such appointment.

is not a citizen or national of the United States. 
‘‘(2) In the case of a cadet who is a minor and who 
has parents or a guardian, the cadet may sign the agree-
ment required by subsection (a) only with the consent of 
the parent or guardian. 
‘‘(f) A cadet or former cadet who does not fulfill the 
terms of the obligation to serve as specified under section 
(a), or the alternative obligation imposed under subsection 
(b), shall be subject to the repayment provisions of section
