    (b)(1) Retired pay or retainer pay computed under this section, if 
not a multiple of $1, shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of $1.
    (2) References in the table in subsection (a) are to sections of 
this title.
    (c) In the case of a Reserve enlisted member whose grade upon 
transfer to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve is 
determined under section 6336 of this title and who first became a 
member of a uniformed service before September 8, 1980, the retainer pay 
base of the member (notwithstanding section 1406(a)(1) of this title) is 
the amount of the monthly basic pay of the grade in which the member is 
so transferred (determined based upon the rates of basic pay applicable 
on the date of the member's transfer), and that amount shall be used for 
the purposes of the table in subsection (a) rather than the amount 
computed under section 1406(d) of this title.
