-------------------------------

In subsection (a) the words ''if not otherwise retired pursuant

to law'' are omitted as surplusage.

In subsection (c) the pay provisions are worded so as to conform

to the terminology of the Career Compensation Act of 1949 (37

U.S.C. 231 et seq.).

The second proviso in Sec. 312(g) of the Officer Personnel Act of

1947 (34 U.S.C. 410j(g)), relating to the retired pay of officers

commissioned in the Regular Navy under the Act of April 18, 1946,

ch. 141, as amended (34 U.S.C. 15), and officers commissioned in

the Regular Navy while serving on active duty as officers of the

Naval Reserve, is not codified in this section because it is

inapplicable to officers designated for limited duty. The only

authority to appoint limited duty officers is Sec. 404(a) of the

Officer Personnel Act of 1947 (34 U.S.C. 211c(a)). Naval Reserve

officers are not eligible for such appointments. Hence there can

be no limited duty officers in the categories mentioned in the

proviso.

In subsection (f) the words ''to which he would otherwise become

entitled'' are omitted as surplusage and the words ''based on the

service for which he has received payment'' are substituted for the

words ''attributable to the active service in respect of which

lump-sum payment shall have been made to him''.

The second proviso in Sec. 312(f) of the Officer Personnel Act of

1947 (34 U.S.C. 410j(f)), which provides that officers who exercise

their option to revert to a warrant officer grade shall be retired

upon completing 30 years of active naval service, is omitted as

superseded by Sec. 14(b)(2) of the Warrant Officer Act of 1954 (34

U.S.C. 430(b)(2)), codified in Sec. 1305 of this title.

active duty in the grade in which he retired, or in the case of an

defined in section 1407(a)(2), on or after Sept. 8, 1980, be at the

retired pay was not to be more than 75 percent of the basic pay or

monthly retired pay base upon which the computation of retired pay

was based.

Subsec. (k). Pub. L. 99-348, Sec. 203(b)(7)(B), struck out

Reserve. If he is not so transferred, he shall be discharged from

the Naval Reserve or the Marine Corps Reserve if he has completed a

period of total commissioned service equal to that specified below

for the permanent grade in which he is serving:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Grade

Navy Marine Corps Total commissioned

service

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Commander Lieutenant colonel 28 years.

Lieutenant commander Major 20 years.

-------------------------------

(2) Notwithstanding the first sentence of paragraph (1), the

Secretary may defer the retirement or discharge of such number of

officers serving in the grade of lieutenant commander as are

necessary to maintain the authorized officer strength of the Ready

Reserve, but the duration of such deferment for any individual

officer may not be in excess of five years.

(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Secretary may defer the

retirement or discharge under this subsection of an officer serving

in the permanent grade of lieutenant commander or commander in the

Naval Reserve or in the permanent grade of major or lieutenant

colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve for a period of time which does

not exceed the amount of service in an active status which was

credited to the officer at the time of his original appointment or

thereafter under any provision of law, if the officer can complete

at least 20 years of service as computed under section 12732 of

this title during the period of such deferment.

(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Secretary may defer the

retirement or discharge under this subsection of such number of

officers serving in the permanent grade of commander in the Medical

Corps, Chaplain Corps, or Dental Corps in the Naval Reserve as are

necessary to provide for mobilization requirements.

(d) For the purposes of subsection (c), the total commissioned

service of an officer who has served continuously in the Naval

Reserve or the Marine Corps Reserve following appointment therein

in the permanent grade of ensign or second lieutenant, as the case

may be, shall be computed from June 30 of the fiscal year in which

he accepted the appointment. Each other officer is considered to

have for this purpose as much total commissioned service as the

years of active commissioned service of any regular officer on the

active-duty list of the Navy not restricted in the performance of

duty, or any regular officer on the active-duty list of the Marine

Corps not restricted in the performance of duty, as appropriate,

who has served continuously since original appointment as an ensign

on the active-duty list of the Navy or as a second lieutenant on

the active-duty list of the Marine Corps, has not lost numbers or

precedence, and is, or has been after September 6, 1947, junior to

that other officer. However, the total commissioned service that

the other officer is considered to have may not be less than the

actual number of years he has served as a commissioned officer in a

grade above chief warrant officer, W-5.

-------------------------------

In subsection (a), the words ''who is considered as having twice

failed of selection for promotion'' are substituted for the words

''after failing of selection for promotion * * * a second time'' to

conform to similar statements in this title. (See the revision note

on section 5776.) The words ''may be retained in'' are omitted as

surplusage, since the authority to eliminate such officers from an

active status is discretionary with the Secretary.

Subsection (e) is added to avoid conflict with 50:1311(d) and

(e), codified in sections 6397 and 6403 of this title. 50:1311(d)

and (e) contain special provisions for ''women officers'' and

officers in the Nurse Corps, respectively, so that officers in

these categories must be excepted from this section. Women

officers appointed under the act of June 24, 1952, ch. 457 (66

Stat. 155; 34 U.S.C. 21e) (codified in section 5581 of this title),

are not ''women officers'' within the meaning of 50:1311(d),

however, but are required to be promoted, retired, or eliminated

from active status as if they were men. (See the revision note on

section 5665 of this title.) The application of this section to

these officers is therefore made explicit.

Both men and women are eligible for appointment as reserve

officers in the Nurse Corps and are subject to the special

provisions relating to that corps.

The words ''and a part of a year that is less than six months is

disregarded'' are added for clarity. The legislative history of

the Career Compensation Act of 1949, which contains a provision

identical to those codified in this section, indicates that all of

these provisions are construed as requiring a fractional year of

less than six months to be disregarded (hearing before the

Committee on Armed Services of the Senate on H.R. 5007, 81st Cong.,

1st sess., p. 313, July 6, 1949).

AMENDMENTS

1983 - Pub. L. 98-94 substituted ''each full month of service

that is in addition to the number of full years of service

creditable to a member is counted as one-twelfth of a year and any

remaining fractional part of a month is disregarded'' for ''a part

of a year that is six months or more is counted as a whole year and

a part of a year that is less than six months is disregarded''.

1980 - Pub. L. 96-513 substituted ''separation pay'' for

''severance pay'' in section catchline and substituted ''separation

pay'' for ''lump-sum payments'' in text.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1983 AMENDMENT

computation of retired or retainer pay of any individual who

becomes entitled to that pay after Sept. 30, 1983, see section

64 Stat. 146.

-------------------------------

This section reflects the opinion of the Judge Advocate General

of the Navy (JAG:I:2:ERS:cmr, dtd. 13 April 1954) that 50 U.S.C.

739 applies to warrant officers (now warrant officers, W-1), of the

Navy and the Marine Corps. The Warrant Officer Act of 1954

established the grade of warrant officer, W-1, in lieu of the

former warrant officer (as distinguished from commissioned warrant

officer) grades. 50 U.S.C. 739, as applicable to officers above the

grade of warrant officer, W-1, is codified in Sec. 1161 of this

title.

In subsection (a) the words ''by sentence of a general

court-martial, or in commutation thereof'' are omitted since the

separation from the service of a warrant officer, W-1, by sentence

of court-martial is effected by dishonorable discharge.

In subsection (b) the words ''from his place of duty'' are

omitted as surplusage. The words ''at least'' are substituted for

the words ''or more''. The words ''by a court other than a

court-martial or other military court'' are substituted for the

words ''by the civil authorities''.
