Sec. 734. Qualifications for promotion

    (a) A Reserve officer shall not be promoted to a higher grade unless 
the officer has been found to be physically qualified and the character 
of the officer's service subsequent to the convening of the selection 
board which recommended the officer for promotion has been verified as 
satisfactory.
    (b) Subsection (a) of this section does not exclude from promotion a 
Reserve officer physically disqualified by a medical board for duty at 
sea or in the field, if the disqualification results from wounds 
received in the line of duty, and those wounds do not incapacitate the 
officer for other duties in the grade to which the officer is to be 
promoted.
