                       PART I--REGULAR COAST GUARD
 
                          CHAPTER 11--PERSONNEL
 
                            ENLISTED MEMBERS
 
Sec. 365. Extension of enlistments

    Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, the term of 
enlistment of any enlisted member may, by voluntary written agreement, 
be extended and re-extended for a period not exceeding six full years 
from the date of expiration of the then-existing term of enlistment, and 
subsequent to such date an enlisted member who so extends his term of 
enlistment shall receive the same pay and allowances in all respects as 
though regularly discharged and reenlisted immediately upon expiration 
of his term of enlistment. However, the total of all such extensions of 
an enlistment may not exceed six years. No such extension shall operate 
to deprive the enlisted member concerned, upon discharge at the 
termination thereof, of any right, privilege, or benefit to which he 
would have been entitled if his term of enlistment had not been so 
extended.
