Eligibility for bonus--National Guard or reserve personnel.Any person who served in the National Guard or reserve and who served a period of active duty for training in the federal forces may not be included among the beneficiaries of §§33A-2-10 to 33A-2-33, inclusive, unless the person was called for further active duty.
