standing upon examination for such grade or class is not less than the minimum

of time of examination.
Within 60 days after each examination, an eligibility list shall be posted
by the Commission, which shall show the final grades of the candidates without
reference to priority of time of examination and subject to claim for military
credit. Candidates who are eligible for military credit shall make a claim
in writing within 10 days after posting of the eligibility list or such
claim shall be deemed waived. Appointment shall be subject to a final physical
examination.
If a person is placed on an eligibility list and becomes overage before he
or she is appointed to a police or fire department, the person remains eligible
for appointment until the list is abolished pursuant to authorized procedures.
Otherwise no person who has attained the age of 36 years shall be inducted as a
member of a police department and no person who has attained the age of 35
years shall be inducted as a member of a fire department, except as otherwise
provided in this division. With respect to a police department, a veteran shall be allowed to exceed the maximum age provision of this Section by the number of years served on active military duty, but by no more than 10 years of active military duty.
