When recalled to active duty, retired officers and enlisted men who were automatically raised one rank by operation of this Act shall resume their rank prior to their retirement. The gratuity or retirement pay provided in section two, and the separation pay provided in section eight of Republic Act Numbered Three hundred forty shall be computed upon the basis of such higher rank in which the officer or enlisted man may be retired or separated: Provided, That when an officer who holds or has held the permanent rank of colonel or brigadier general, or an enlisted man who holds or has held the rank of first sergeant, sergeant major or master sergeant is retired or has been retired in that rank the gratuity, retirement pay or separation pay due him or his beneficiaries under this Act shall be computed on the basis of the base and longevity pay of the next higher rank. For purposes of this Act, the rank next higher than first sergeants, sergeant majors and master sergeants shall be second lieutenant."
