Title 10 › Subtitle Subtitle C— - Navy and Marine Corps › Part PART III— - EDUCATION AND TRAINING › Chapter CHAPTER 853— - UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY › § 8471
Summary
The Superintendent of the Naval Academy must run the midshipmen’s store, barber shop, cobbler shop, tailor shop, dairy (if any), and laundry as Navy-controlled activities that operate with their own funds instead of regular government appropriations. The Superintendent must keep a separate fund account for each activity, deposit all money each activity earns into its own account, and use those funds to pay that activity’s operating costs. The Secretary of the Navy sets the rules for how this must be done.
