 Apply in Writing
 Officers desiring to volunteer TOT return to active duty must apply in writing to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington Zo, D. o., and must meet the physical standards for overseas service. Ap- plication forms may be obtained at any Army installation, Army Re cruiting Station in Waterbury at 36 North Main Street, or Officers Re serve Corps Headquarters. In the event an officer on inactive status, desiring active duty. does not have Reserve or National Guard Com mission, he may apply for active duty providing he has applied for Reserve Commission. Quanneo applicants may be recalled pending action on appointment in the Off, cers' Reserve Corps. However, non acceptance within 10 days of the appointment in the Officers Re- serve Corps, when rendered, will be cause for relief from active duty.
 Although officers returning to duty from an inactive status are eligible for overseas assignment, recall to active duty does not neces- sarily mean the officer will immedi- ately be assigned overseas. Credit will be given for previous overseas service in the same manner as for officers who have remained on &C., tive duty. It is pointed out that dependents are authorized in many overseas stations and that choice of Theater is given due consideration.
 Officers recalled to active duty will be recalled in grade not high CT than that in which the officer served immediately prior to proc essing for relief from active duty. This is necessary in the interest Of fairness to those officers who re- mained on active duty and have not received a promotion which cer- tain officers received at the time of their separation. Officers re- called to active duty will be subject to any general demotion procedure in the same manner as all other officers on active duty. but in no the permanent grade held on Dec. case will they be reduced lower than T, 1941 At this time no reductions in grade are being made.
