AN ACT
To authorize the crediting, for certain purposes, of prior active Federal Commissioned service performed by a person appointed as a commissioned officer under section 101 or 102 of the Army-Navy Nurses Act of 1947, as amended, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That sections 101 and 102 of the Army-Navy Nurses Act of 1947 (61 Stat. 41, 42), as amended (10 U. S. C. 166, 166a), are each further amended by adding the following new subsection at the end thereof:
“(d) In determining position on a promotion list, seniority in her grade in the Regular Army or the Regular Air Force, as the case may be, and eligibility for promotion, a person originally appointed as a commissioned officer under subsection (c), shall be credited, at the time of her appointment, with the active Federal commissioned service, after December 31, 1947, which she performed after becoming twenty-one years of age and before her appointment. However, not more than five years of service may be so credited. A person originally appointed as a first lieutenant who has not performed at least three years of such active Federal commissioned service after December 31, 1947, shall, for the same purposes, be credited with that amount of service. Service credited pursuant to this subsection shall be in lieu of and not in addition to service credited under section 105 of this Act.”
