         TITLE 37--PAY AND ALLOWANCES OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES
 
              CHAPTER 17--MISCELLANEOUS RIGHTS AND BENEFITS
 
Sec. 906. Extension of enlistment: effect on pay and allowances

    A member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, 
as the case may be, who extends his enlistment under section 509 of 
title 10 is entitled to the same pay and allowances as though he had 
reenlisted. For the purposes of determining entitlement to reenlistment 
bonus or to travel and transportation allowances upon discharge, all 
such extensions of an enlistment are considered one continuous 
extension.
