(2) The Secretary concerned may reduce the minimum two-year service requirement specified in paragraph (1)(C) in the case of a person who— (A) completed at least one year of service in a position of adjutant general required under section 314 of title 32 or in a position of assistant adjutant general subordinate to such a position of adjutant general; and (B) failed to complete the minimum years of service solely because the appointment of the person to such position was terminated or vacated as described in section 324(b) of title 32.

(c) Time and Form of Election.—An election under subsection (a) shall be made within such time and in such form as the Secretary concerned requires. (d) Effective Date of Election.—An election made by a person under subsection (a) shall be effective— (1) except as provided in paragraph (2)(B), as of the date on which the person attains the eligibility age applicable to the person under section 12731(f) of this title, if the Secretary concerned receives the election in accordance with this section within 180 days after that date; or (2) on the first day of the first month that begins after the date on which the Secretary concerned receives the election in accordance with this section, if— (A) the date of the receipt of the election is more than 180 days after the date on which the person attains the eligibility age applicable to the person under such section; or (B) the person retires from service in an active status within that 180-day period. |
