    In subsection (a), the words ``active service'' are substituted for 
the word ``service'', in 10:947, and ``active Federal service 
performed'', in 10:958, for uniformity. The words ``service computed 
under section 3683 of this title'' are inserted, since a person entitled 
to count service under that revised section might cease to be a nurse or 
woman medical specialist and thereafter become entitled to retire under 
one of the revised sections referred to in subsection (a) of this 
revised section.
    Subsection (b) is inserted because of section 3638 of this title and 
in accordance with long-standing interpretation of the effect of 10:629 
upon the computation of years of service for retirement.
