14 U.S.C. § 2310: Relief of retired enlisted…

Summary

If a retired enlisted person is called back to active duty and gets promoted, they must be placed on the retired list at the highest rank or rating they held while on that active duty when they leave. If the promotion was temporary, the retired-list rank is limited to the temporary grade or rating that they actually served in satisfactorily while on active duty.

In case the appointment or promotion was temporary the advancement on the retired list shall be made only to such grade or rating in which the member served satisfactorily on active duty.

Historical and Revision Notes

Derived from title 34, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 3501(a) and (b), 350j(b) (July 24, 1941, ch. 320, § 10, 55 Stat. 605; Feb. 21, 1946, ch. 34, § 8(a), 60 Stat. 28). Said sections have application to officers only, but in accord with the general plan to make as many provisions as possible applicable both to officers and men, it seems highly desirable to provide similarly for enlisted men—a fortiori because there are cases in the Coast Guard in which enlisted men are suffering inequitably because there is no provision for advancing men on the retired list after they have been advanced in rating while serving on active duty after recall from the retired list. 81st Congress,
