Bill > HR6340

This bill aims to modify how service time is calculated for officers who complete the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (SROTC) program. Specifically, the bill expands the existing rules about computing length of service by allowing time spent in the SROTC program to be included in an officer's total service calculation, regardless of which military component the officer ultimately serves in. Previously, service time calculations had a more restrictive set of conditions, particularly related to service as of August 1, 1979. By adding language that includes service dating back to the enactment of this bill, the legislation will provide more flexibility in how officer service time is computed. The bill is titled the "Save the Green to Gold Program Act," referring to the SROTC program that helps college students transition into military officer roles. This change could potentially make the SROTC program more attractive to participants by ensuring that their time in the program counts toward their overall military service length and benefits.
