No person shall be appointed and commissioned or warranted as an officer of the Guam National Guard unless he shall be qualified for immediate Federal recognition in the grade to which he is to be appointed and approved by the Adjutant General. If a person so appointed shall fail to receive Federal recognition when first recommended, his appointment and commission or warrant shall be terminated promptly. Subject to Federal regulations, and at the discretion of the Adjutant General, such person may be reappointed and commissioned or warranted and submitted for Federal recognition one (1) additional time after the passage of one (1) year from the date Federal recognition was denied.
