The word ‘‘regular’’ is inserted to conform to an opin-
ion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army (JAGA
1953/2301, 23 Mar. 1953). The words ‘‘upon his request’’
are substituted for the words ‘‘upon making application
to the President’’, in 10:947, and ‘‘by application to the
President’’, in 10:947a. The words ‘‘either as a private or
non-commissioned officer, or both’’, in 10:947a, are
omitted as surplusage. The words ‘‘shall be retired’’ are
substituted for the words ‘‘be placed upon the retired
list’’, in 10:947, and ‘‘be placed on the retired list here-
tofore created’’, in 10:947a. The words ‘‘computed under
section 8925 of this title’’ are inserted for clarity. The
21 words before the proviso and the proviso of the Act
of February 14, 1885, as restated, are not contained in
10:947a. They are also omitted from the revised section,
since the proviso is executed and the 21 words before
the proviso are omitted as covered by formula E of sec-
tion 8991 of this title.
