        (A) articles designated by the Secretary to members of the Navy 
    and Marine Corps; and
        (B) items of individual clothing and equipment to members of the 
    Navy and Marine Corps, under such restrictions as the Secretary may 
    prescribe.

    (2) An account of sales on credit shall be kept and the amount due 
reported to the Secretary. Except for articles and items acquired

title, sales of articles shall be at cost, and sales of individual 
clothing and equipment shall be at average current prices, including

members of the Navy and Marine Corps.
    (c) The Secretary may sell serviceable supplies, other than 
subsistence supplies, to members of other armed forces for the buyers' 
use in the service. The prices at which the supplies are sold shall be 
the same prices at which like property is sold to members of the Navy 
and Marine Corps.
    (d) A person who has been discharged honorably or under honorable 
conditions from the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine Corps and who is 
receiving care and medical treatment from the Public Health Service or 
the Department of Veterans Affairs may buy subsistence supplies and 
other supplies, except articles of uniform, at the prices at which like 
property is sold to members of the Navy and Marine Corps.
    (e) Under such conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, exterior 
articles of uniform may be sold to a person who has been discharged 
honorably or under honorable conditions from the Navy or Marine Corps, 
at the prices at which like articles are sold to members of the Navy or 
Marine Corps. This subsection does not modify section 772 or 773 of this

subsistence supplies shall be made in cash or by commercial credit.

considers proper--
        (A) at military installations outside the United States; and
        (B) subject to paragraph (2), at military installations inside 
    the United States where the Secretary determines that it is 
    impracticable for those civilian officers, employees, and persons to 
    obtain such stores from commercial enterprises without impairing the 
    efficient operation of military activities.

    (2) Sales to civilian officers and employees inside the United 
States may be made under paragraph (1) only to civilian officers and 
employees residing within military installations.
    (h) Appropriations for subsistence of the Navy or Marine Corps may

of the Navy and Marine Corps on active duty for the use of such members 
and their families.
