    The words ``now or hereafter'', in 10:948a, are omitted as 
surplusage. The words ``computed under section 8925 of this title'' are 
substituted for the words ``active Federal service'', in 10:948, and 
``active Federal military service'', in 10:948a, since that revised 
section makes explicit the service covered. The words ``be retired 
from'' are substituted for the words ``will be placed on the retired 
list of'', in 10:948. The words ``completed a minimum'', in 10:948; and
