In subsection (a), the words "who successfully completes" are substituted for the words "upon the successful completion of". The word "appointed" is substituted for the word "commissioned". The words "each such second lieutenant" are omitted as surplusage. The words "under section 8257(c)(1) of this title" are substituted for the word "such", since that word related to agreements for active duty under 10:299 (2d sentence), restated in section 8257(c)(1) of this title.
In subsection (b), the word "originally" is inserted for clarity. The words "under such regulations as the Secretary of the Army may prescribe" are omitted, since section 591 of this title authorizes the Secretary to prescribe qualifications for the appointment of reserve officers. The words "in any commissioned grade as a Reserve for service" are substituted for the words "an officer". The words "prescribed" and "and instruction" are omitted as surplusage.
