To address this concern, the provision in section 88-132.5 excluding members who received or were eligible to receive federal military pensions from acquiring membership service credit was deleted. The legislative history shows that the legislature made no distinction among types of active military service which the member renders. Federal law regulating state national guard units is included in Titles 10 and 32 of the United States Code.
Active duty is a federally defined status.
It includes such Federal duty as full-time training, annual training duty, and attendance, while in the active military service, at a school designated as a service school by law or by the Secretary of the military department concerned. National Guard Duty' means training or other duty, other than inactive duty, performed by a member of the Army National Guard of the United States or the Air National Guard of the United States in the member's status as a member of the National Guard of a State or territory . . . . Enlistees retain their status as state guard members unless and until ordered to active federal duty, and then revert to state status upon being relieved from federal service. A state national guard may be ordered into federal service under 10 U.S.C.A. 3500 on the President's call. Further, a member of the NGUS is relieved of duty in the national guard of a state or territory for the entire period of federal service.
