TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES
§ 8322
In subsection (a) the words ‘‘Regular’’ and ‘‘holding a
permanent appointment in the grade of warrant officer,
W–1, or above’’ are inserted for clarity. The word
‘‘shall’’ is substituted for the word ‘‘may’’ because the
Attorney General has construed R.S. 1443 as conferring
a right to retirement upon officers who apply for it
after 40 years of service (30 Op. Atty. Gen. 406). The
words ‘‘from active service’’ are omitted as surplusage.
The words ‘‘after completing 40 or more years of active
service’’ are substituted for the words ‘‘has been forty
years in the service of the United States’’ for clarity.
In subsection (b) the accepted meaning of the words
‘‘service of the United States’’ is spelled out for clarity.
They have been consistently interpreted to include ac-
tive service in the armed forces as defined in this title.
