# 14 U.S.C. § 1927 - Cadets; initial clothing allowance
## Text
The Secretary may prescribe a sum which shall be credited to each new cadet upon first admission to the Academy, to cover the cost of an initial clothing and equipment issue, which sum shall be deducted subsequently from the pay of such cadet. Each cadet discharged prior to graduation who is indebted to the United States on account of advances of pay to purchase required clothing and equipment shall be required to turn in to the Academy all clothing and equipment of a distinctively military nature to the extent required to discharge such indebtedness; and, if the value of such clothing and equipment so turned in does not cover the indebtedness incurred, then such indebtedness shall be canceled.
(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 508, § 183; Aug. 22, 1951, ch. 340, § 3, 65 Stat. 196; renumbered § 1927, Pub. L. 115282, title I, § 110(b), Dec. 4, 2018, 132 Stat. 4212; Pub. L. 116283, div. G, title LVXXXV [LXXXV], § 8506(a), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 4752.)
## Notes
Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 15 (June 23, 1906, ch. 3520, § 2, 34 Stat. 452; Jan. 28, 1915, ch. 20, § 1, 38 Stat. 800; July 3, 1926, ch. 742, § 6, 44 Stat. 816; July 30, 1937, ch. 545, § 5, 50 Stat. 549). Said section has been divided. That part dealing with clothing allowance for cadets is placed in this section and the other parts are incorporated in section 182 of this title. Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.
