S.1857

A bill to amend title 14, United States Code, to require the retention of certain enlisted members of the Coast Guard who have completed 18 or more.

The bill amends title 14, United States Code, to require the retention of certain enlisted members of the Coast Guard who have completed 18 or more, but less than 20, years of service. Specifically, it mandates that such members cannot be discharged, denied reenlistment, or transferred from an active status without their consent until they either qualify for retirement or reach specific service milestones. For members with 18 to 19 years of service, retention is required until they are credited with 20 years of service or until the third anniversary of their discharge date.
