- Remainder: An interest in property that takes effect in the future at a specified time or after the occurrence of some event, such as the death of a life tenant.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
(B) If a previously executed sentence of dishonorable or bad conduct discharge is not imposed on a new trial, the adjutant general shall substitute therefor a form of discharge authorized for administrative issuance unless the accused is to serve out the remainder of the accused’s enlistment.
(C) If a previously executed sentence of dismissal is not imposed on a new trial, the adjutant general shall substitute therefor a form of discharge authorized for administrative issue, and the commissioned officer dismissed by that sentence may be reappointed by the adjutant general alone to such commissioned grade and with such rank as in the opinion of the adjutant general that former officer would have attained had the former officer not been dismissed. The reappointment of such a former officer shall be made without regard to the existence of a vacancy and shall affect the promotion status of other officers only to the extent directed by the adjutant general. All time between the dismissal and the reappointment shall be considered as service for all purposes including the right to pay and allowances.
(D) Pursuant to regulations prescribed by the adjutant general, an accused who has been sentenced by a court-martial may be required to take leave pending completion of action under this code if the sentence, as approved under section 5924.60 of the Revised Code, includes an unsuspended dismissal or an unsuspended dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge. The accused may be required to begin leave on the date on which the sentence is approved or at any time after that date. Leave may be continued until the date on which action is completed or may be terminated at any earlier time.
