(a) Rear Admiral in the Permanent Navy; or
(b) Major General in the Regular Army; or
(c) Air Vice‑Marshal in the Permanent Air Force.
> Note: The compulsory retirement age for these ranks was changed on 1 June 2011 by the amendment of these Regulations.

(3) The election must be given to the Chief of the member’s Service before the member reaches the former retirement age.
(4) If the member makes an election to retain the member’s former retirement age, the member’s compulsory retirement age is:
(a) the former retirement age; or
(b) a greater retirement age imposed in accordance with these Regulations before the member reaches the member’s former retirement age.
