(a)For the purpose of determining whether an enlisted member of the Air Force or the Space Force may be retired under section 9314 or 9317 of this title, his years of service are computed by adding all active service in the armed forces.
(b)Time required to be made up under section 972(a) of this title may not be counted in computing years of service under subsection (a).
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 552, § 8925; Pub. L. 85–861, § 1(195), Sept. 2, 1958, 72 Stat. 1540; Pub. L. 96–343, § 9(b)(2), Sept. 8, 1980, 94 Stat. 1129; Pub. L. 99–348, title II, § 204(c), July 1, 1986, 100 Stat. 698; Pub. L. 101–189, div. A, title VI, § 652(a)(6), Nov. 29, 1989, 103 Stat. 1461; Pub. L. 103–337, div. A, title VI, § 635(c)(1), Oct. 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 2789; Pub. L. 104–106, div. A, title V, § 561(d)(4)(A), Feb. 10, 1996, 110 Stat. 323; renumbered § 9325 and amended Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, §§ 806(b)(13), 809(a), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1833, 1840; Pub. L. 116–283, div. A, title IX, § 923(c)(18), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 3812.)
In subsection (a), the words “active service” are substituted for the word “service”, in 10:947, and “active Federal service performed”, in 10:958, for uniformity. The words “service computed under section 8683 of this title” are inserted, since a person entitled to count service under that revised section might cease to be a nurse or woman medical specialist and thereafter become entitled to retire under one of the revised sections referred to in subsection
(a)of this revised section.
Subsection
(b)is inserted because of section 8638 of this title and in accordance with long standing interpretation of the effect of 10:629 upon the computation of years of service for retirement.
The amendment reflects the repeal of section 8638 of this title and the enactment of a similar provision in section 972 of this title.
