(3) Parts of a year, months, and days from both the armed forces of the United States and the Lafayette Police Department shall be included to determine the amount of time a member has accrued toward retirement, for the purpose of receiving retirement benefits. No credit shall be allowed for months and days which do not add up to a complete year.

(6) If a member is drafted or called into service duty with the armed forces of the United States, he shall not lose any of his benefits of this plan for a maximum of four years, or indefinitely, if a United States national crisis occurs, to be determined by the board of directors of this fund.  (7) Once hired by the Lafayette Police Department, if a member leaves under voluntary enlistment, then it must be shown to the satisfaction of the board of directors that such voluntary service was undertaken due to the fact that the member was to be involuntarily taken into service through compulsory military training or through a federal selective service act.

He shall have received an honorable discharge from the branch of service in which he was a member.  Added by Acts 1975, No. 549, §1.
