Requirement · part of 5.0.6.0. The requirements were met before death
5.0.6.0. Including age and service
Required Often forgotten
The Guide names these two explicitly inside the condition, which is worth noticing: age and time-based service requirements are met or they are not, and being close to them is not meeting them.
Notes and warnings
Warning. The phrase most often skimmed. Age and service are named inside the condition on purpose: a rank whose service months were still running when the member died is a rank whose requirements were not met, however close it was.
