Members of the Reserve Officers Candidate Program and Platoon Leaders Class are entitled to the same medical and dental benefits as are provided members of the Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Components. Accordingly, the provisions of Sec. 728.21 are applicable for such members.

Hospitalization should be kept to a minimum and treatment other than for humanitarian reasons, except as provided in this part, is not authorized.
