Enlisted men in the fourth to seventh grade who have been hospitalized for a service-related disability would receive automatic promotion for every six months of hospitalization, up to the third grade. The promotion would be in addition to any other promotions authorized by law. No back pay or allowances would accrue prior to the enactment of the Act, and it would not apply to enlisted men convicted by a court-martial.
