SEC. 516. Members and former members of the uniformed services, including members of the Fleet Reserve and the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve, who have been, or may hereafter be, retired or transferred to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve and entitled to receive retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay computed under the provisions of this or any other Act, shall be entitled, subject to the provisions hereinafter listed, to receive increases in such retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay for all active duty performed after retirement or transfer to the Fleet Reserve or the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve: Provided, That the retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay to which such member or former member shall be entitled upon his release from active duty shall be computed by multiplying the years of service creditable to him for purposes of computing retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay at the time of his retirement or transfer plus the number of years of subsequent active duty performed by him by 21/2 per centum, and by multiplying the product thus obtained by the base and longevity pay or the basic pay, as the case may be, of the rank or grade in which he would be eligible, at the time of his release from active duty, to be retired or transferred except for the fact that he is already a retired person or a member of the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve: Provided, That for the purpose of computing increases in retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay of any member or former member, fractions of one-half year or more of active duty performed subsequent to retirement or transfer by such member or former member shall be counted as a whole year: Provided further That in the case of an officer heretofore retired with pay computed at a rate of either 3 or 4 per centum as the multiplier for each year of service allowed in the computation of the retired pay, active duty performed subsequent to the effective date of this section shall not increase the retired or retirement pay for such officer upon his return to retired status unless such officer elects to have his retired or retirement pay computed by one of the two methods provided in section 511 of this Act, subject to the limitations imposed therein: And provided further, That in no event shall retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay exceed 75 per centum of the active duty pay or basic pay which such person would be entitled to receive if he were serving on active duty in the rank or grade which is the basis for the computation of his retired pay, retirement pay, retainer pay, or equivalent pay.
