Pub. L. 83-773, tit. VI, sec. 615

Sec. 615. While serving on extended active duty, an officer of the Reserve may be promoted for temporary service in the same manner as an officer of the Regular Coast Guard. If so promoted by reason of being on active duty, the officer concerned will be considered an extra number in the higher grade of the Reserve and when released from such active duty, unless permanently promoted while on extended active duty, shall resume his permanent rank and status in the Reserve. Such officers shall also be considered by promotion boards for officers of the Reserve if they otherwise meet the requirements of this Act and the regulations of the Secretary and may be promoted in the normal manner for Reserve officers if qualified under the provisions of this Act.
