TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES
§ 8470a
1 See References in Text note below.
In subsection (b) the words ‘‘an officer in the grade of
warrant officer, W–1,’’ are substituted for the words ‘‘a
warrant officer’’ because the Warrant Officer Act of
1954 established the grade of warrant officer, W–1, in
lieu of all the former warrant officer (as distinguished
from commissioned warrant officer) grades. The second
sentence covers that part of the second proviso which
relates to pay and makes reference to the Career Com-
pensation Act of 1949, since it is that Act which governs
entitlement to basic pay and the computation of cumu-
lative years of creditable service. Retirement rights
and reenlistment bonuses referred to in the second pro-
viso are covered in the third sentence of this sub-
section, giving recognition to the fact that the status
of the members who are assigned as leader and second
leader of the band remains unchanged in these respects.
