18 | will receive as the result of any promotional examination
| ||||||
19 | seven-tenths of one point for each 6 months or fraction
thereof | ||||||
20 | of active military or naval service not exceeding 30 months. | ||||||
21 | The numerical
result thus attained shall be applied by the | ||||||

determining the position of such | ||||||
23 | persons on any eligible list which has
been created or will be | ||||||
24 | created as the result of any promotional
examination held | ||||||
