Higher physical and mental standards may be specified by the appropriate Secretary of a Military Department for initial enlistment in a grade higher than the basic enlistment pay grade or for enlistment in a program leading to a commission.

Applicants in categories (1) through (6) may be enlisted without regard to their date of application. Nonprior service applicants in category (7) who are accepted on reserve unit enlistment waiting lists will be retained in their original priority. However, exceptions to these policies may be made when, in the best judgment of those responsible for the procurement of reserve personnel, an applicant's prior military service or significant civilian training or experience in the occupational skill concerned is considered to warrant it. In such cases, notation as to the basis of the exception shall be made in the individual's service record.

(1) Members of the Selected Reserve who desire to reenlist.

(2) Members of Selected Reserve units applying for transfer from another locality.

(3) Members of the Selected Reserve who were relieved from assignment to units due to reorganization, inactivation, or relocation of their units.

(e) Prior to enlisting a draft-liable individual in one of the Reserve Components, the applicant shall be required to sign a written statement to the effect that he has not received orders to report for induction, that any subsequent receipt of such orders will be reported to

his unit commander, and that he understands he is subject to an induction order if issued before he enlists.

(1) An individual who enlists in a Reserve Component and who subsequently receives orders to report for induction, the issuing date of which precedes his date of enlistment, shall be discharged from his Reserve Component for the purpose of induction into the Armed Forces.

(2) The discharge should be effected concurrently with the induction so as to continue the individual's military obligation consistent with § 50.2(d) of this title.

(3) The date of issuance of orders to report for induction shall be considered to be the date of mailing of such orders by appropriate authority in the Selective Service System.

(f) Individual applicants for assignment or enlistment in the Reserve Components shall not be accepted unless there is reasonable assurance that they will be available and able to participate satisfactorily in the unit concerned. In this respect careful consideration shall be given to the geographical location, future plans, and possible conflicts with the civilian occupation of the individual applicant. Individuals who are engaged in or preparing for a skill listed in the Department of Labor "List of Critical Occupations for Screening the Ready Reserve" shall not be enlisted unless there is an overriding military necessity for their skill consistent with Part 125 of this title.

(g) Reserve members who have enlisted under the provisions of section 511(d) of title 10, U.S.C., and who thereafter incur either a bona fide temporary. nonmilitary obligation requiring overseas residency outside the United States, or a bona fide, temporary, religious missionary obligation which would conflict with their required participation in reserve training, may, upon their request, be reenlisted under the provisions of section 511(a) of title 10, U.S.C. Requests under the provisions of this subsection, except those from members who incur a legitimate religious missionary obligation, will be approved by the Secretary of the Military Department concerned.

Such reenlistment contracts will assure that each individual will serve a total of six (6) years of reserve service as required by law.
