All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States

Did you even read what you cut-n-pasted?

Did you read my question? I’m looking for clarity.

Here’s what I ‘cut and pasted’ and the question I asked.

“(2) REQUIREMENT.–All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act 2 of 1923, as amended.”

Does this mean non commissioned officers can be illegal aliens??
