Historical and Revision Notes
Revised sectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large)
6324 34 U.S.C. 43g(h). Apr. 16, 1947, ch. 38, §207(i), 61 Stat. 50; redesignated (h), Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 512, §434(d), 61 Stat. 882.

The words "or the reserve components thereof" are omitted because "Army", "Navy", and "Air Force", as defined in this title, include the reserve components.

AMENDMENTS

1967—Pub. L. 90–130 substituted provision reciting simply that service as a nurse in the armed forces before April 16, 1947, is considered as commissioned service for purposes of this chapter for provisions making specific reference to service under an appointment or contract or as a commissioned officer in the Nurse Corps of the Army or the Navy or as a commissioned officer of the Air Force designated as an Air Force Nurse.

1966—Pub. L. 89–609 substituted "the person's" for "her" in introductory text in two places.

1959—Pub. L. 86–197 substituted "a regular officer or a reserve officer" for "an officer".

L. 90–130, set out as a note under section 3069 of this title.
