THIS NAVADMIN SUPERSEDES REF B IN ANY AREA WHERE THE TWO MAY VARY.

FOR 36 MONTHS TO QUALIFY FOR A THREE-YEAR REENLISTMENT/EXTENSION BONUS

ELIGIBILITY DATE (DATE OF OBLIGATION AND BONUS PAY DATE) WILL BE THE

REGARDING OTHER EXTENSION OF CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS.
(5) NAVY RESERVE SAILORS CURRENTLY SERVING UNDER A CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATION FOR A PREVIOUS NAVY RESERVE BONUS ARE REQUIRED TO BE WITHIN
30 DAYS OF COMPLETION OF THIS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION PRIOR TO
