Whenever any contributor to the Retirement Fund shall be inducted into active military service with the National Guard, United States Army, Navy or other branch of service engaged in the national defense, as may be determined by the Board of Trustees, while on departmental or civil service, leave of absence from the town service, the payments of any contributor into the Retirement Fund in lieu of salary deductions shall be waived for the periods while the contributor is so engaged in the service, providing his or her compensation is less than his or her compensation when last engaged in town service, and if later retired for superannuation the periods of town non-service, while engaged in the service shall be considered as town service for the purpose of computing service credit for retirement; provided nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to cover any disability incurred by reason of the military service.
