wear for each period of 6 months' active Federalservice as a member of the US Army outside thecontinental limits of the United States from 7 De-cember 1941 until 2 September 1946, both dates in-clusive. In computing oversea service, the formerterritory of Alaska will be considered outside thecontinental limits of the United States. An overseaservice bar is not authorized for a fraction of a 6-month period.

ture from and arrival at a port in the United Statesor the boundary of the continental United States.The day of departure and day of return are includ-ed.

All active duty or serviceoutside the continental United States (permanent,temporary, detached, etc.) will be included in com-puting length of service, provided that the officialduty of the individual required his presence outsidethe continental United States.

(5) Periods during which military personnel arein the United States on temporary duty, detachedservice, andlor leave (even though the individual isassigned to overseas) will not be included in comput-ing length of service required.

(6) Periods during which military personnel arein confinement which result in time lost as de-scribed in the Uniform Code of Military Justice,Section 6, will not be included in computing lengthof service required.
