       	     2.	 The member was discharged under conditions other than
                 dishonorable;
      
       	     3.	 The credit shall be granted conditionally upon the

may
                 not be used to establish any rights under this system;
                 and
      
       	     4.	 In no case shall retirement credit granted for such
                 military service combined with any other military
                 service credit granted exceed an aggregate of four (4)
                 years.
      
       	    	 WHEREAS, certain employees of the Chattanooga Public
