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.
