      Dear Major

          Reference is made to your letters of September 25, and Octo-
      ber 17, 1978, with enclosures, addressed to Mr. A. James Riedinger
      of my staff, in which you seek information concerning your eligi-
      bility to. be retained on active duty under the provisions of
      10 U. S. C. 1006 (1976), so as to permit you to acquire 20 years'
      service for the purpose of immediate retirement from the United
   States Army.

          According to the enclosures with your letter, you were released
      from active duty with the United States Army effective March 6,
      1977, at which point you had completed 17 years, 3 months and
      12 days of active service. You say that the reason for your release
      was that you had been twice passed over for promotion to the grade
      of lieutenant colonel.

          Immediately prior to that release you were selected to perform
      a 2-year tour of active duty for training (ADT), effective March 7,
      1977. You say that you are currently serving on that tour of duty
      and have completed well over 18 years of active duty. Further, you
      will have completed over 19 years of active duty when your current
      ADT period expires in March 1979, or 8 months and 18 days short
      of 20 years' active service.

          You say that you have been informally advised that your ADT
      period will not be renewed and you would like to know if the provi-
      sions of 10 U. S.-C. 1006 would prevent the Army from releasing
      you from active duty prior to your reaching the 20-year service
      mark.

          An official decision is not being rendered at your request on the
      question presented; however, the following may be of assistance to
[     you.
