Sec. 209. (a) A person transferred to a reserve component of an Armed Force of the United States pursuant to the Universal Military 66 Stat. 485 Training and Service Act, as amended, shall, if qualified and accepted, be permitted to enlist or accept an appointment in such Armed Force of the United States as he may elect (except that consent of the appropriate Secretaries shall be required for enlistment or appointment as a Reserve of another Armed Force of the United States) and to participate in such programs as are authorized for such Armed Force of the United States. Any such person who enlists or is appointed in an Armed Force of the United States shall be required to perform the remaining period of his required term of service in the Armed Force of the United States in which such enlistment or appointment is made, or in any other Armed Force of the United States in which he subsequently enlists or is appointed. AH periods of such participation shall be credited against total periods of obligated service imposed by the Universal Military Training and service Act, as amended, but no period of time shall be credited more than once. (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to reduce, limit, or modify any period of service which any person may undertake to perform pursuant to any enlistment or appointment or agreement, including an agreement entered into prior to, or at the time of, entering a program authorized by an Armed Force of the United States.
