Except as otherwise provided in this act, no person on the state military retired list is entitled to receive any pay or emolument from the state for military duty during the time he remains on the retired list. Nothing in this act shall be construed to prohibit the governor from recalling to active service an officer theretofore or hereafter retired or from temporarily removing the officer from the retired list for the purpose of recalling or recommissioning such officer for active service. The officer so recalled to active service or recommissioned shall be restored to his prior retirement status in the same or higher attained rank when he is relieved and applies for such retirement.
