If applicable, the employee has been continuously employed in a secondary position or positions since moving from a rigorous position without a break in service exceeding 3 days. NOTES: 1. Service as a temporary or intermittent employee may be counted toward the 3-year requirement if it is otherwise qualifying. (While under an intermittent tour of duty, only actual days worked are counted.)

Also, Federal service under another retirement system for Government employees may be used to meet the 3-year requirement if it is otherwise qualifying. 2.
