                          TITLE 14--COAST GUARD
 
                       PART I--REGULAR COAST GUARD
 
                          CHAPTER 11--PERSONNEL
 
                            ENLISTED MEMBERS
 
Sec. 366. Retention beyond term of enlistment in case of 
        disability
        
    Any enlisted member of the Coast Guard in the active service whose 
term of enlistment expires while he is suffering disease or injury 
incident to service and not due to misconduct, and who is in need of 
medical care or hospitalization, may, with his consent, be retained in 
such service beyond the expiration of his term of enlistment. Any such 
enlisted member shall be entitled to receive at Government expense 
medical care or hospitalization and his pay and allowances, including 
credit for longevity, until he shall have recovered to such extent as 
would enable him to meet the physical requirements for reenlistment, or 
until it shall have been ascertained by competent authority of the Coast 
Guard that the disease or injury is of a character that recovery to such 
an extent would be impossible. Any enlisted member whose enlistment is 
so extended shall be subject to forfeitures in the same manner and to 
the same extent as if his term of enlistment had not expired. Nothing 
contained in this section shall prevent any enlisted member from being 
held in the service without his consent under section 367 of this title.

Oct. 30, 1984, 98 Stat. 2865.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 35b (Dec. 12, 1941, ch. 
566, 55 Stat. 797).
    The parenthetical part, which has no application insofar as the 
Coast Guard is concerned, has been eliminated.
    Inasmuch as the act cited above applies equally to the Army, Navy, 
and Marine Corps, as well as the Coast Guard, it is not scheduled for 
repeal but is being amended by section 14 of this act to eliminate 
reference to the Coast Guard.
    Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 
557.


                               Amendments

    1984--Pub. L. 98-557 substituted reference to enlisted member for 
reference to enlisted man in four places.

                  Section Referred to in Other Sections

    This section is referred to in section 369 of this title.
