  reserved-for-increased-take-home-pay to which he may  then  be  entitled

  department or police force or department of any county,  city,  village,
  town, fire district or police district, or as a criminal investigator in
  the office of a district attorney, shall also be deemed to be creditable
  service  and  shall  be included in computing years of total service for
  retirement pursuant to this section.
f. A member contributing on the basis of this section at the  time  of
  retirement,  may  retire  after  the  completion of twenty-five years of
  total creditable service. Application therefor may be filed in a  manner
  similar  to  that  provided  in  section  seventy  of this article. Upon
  completion of twenty-five years of such  service  and  upon  retirement,
  each such member shall receive a pension which, together with an annuity

  retirement allowance equal to one-half of his final average salary;  for
  service   beyond   twenty-five   years   the  benefit  is  increased  by
  one-sixtieth of final average salary for each year of additional service
  credit provided, however, that the total allowance payable  pursuant  to
  this  section  shall  not  exceed  three-fourths  of such member's final
  average salary.
g. In computing the twenty-five years of total  service  of  a  member
  pursuant  to  this section full credit shall be given and full allowance
  shall be made for service of such member in time of war after World  War
  I as defined in section two of this chapter, provided such member at the

  time  of  his  entrance  into the armed forces was in the service of the
  county of Nassau.
h. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a member, who does not
  retire  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  section, from utilizing
  service which is creditable service pursuant to the provisions  of  this
  section  for service credit pursuant to the provisions of any other plan
  of this article to which such member is subject.
i. The provisions of this section shall be controlling notwithstanding
  any other provision in this article to the contrary.
