They are in an overseas country on leave and the CDF recalls them to undertake short-term duty in that country. They get half the listed rate for the short-term duty only.

They are accommodated on board a seagoing ship while it is visiting an overseas port. They get half the listed rate during the visit.
3.  A break of less than 7 days from their short-term duty location may not break a member's continuity for the purposes of paragraph 2.a above. The break does not count if the member was advised that the period of absence was to be for less than 7 days.
