active duty for two years in that grade or in a higher grade is entitled when on active duty to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half. (f) Except for those whose basic pay is otherwise specifically authorized by law, the number of rear admirals on the active list of the Coast Guard entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half is one-half of the number of officers on the active list in that grade. If that division results in an odd number, the odd number shall be placed in the upper half. However, an officer who is entitled to the basic pay of a rear admiral of the upper half may not have his basic pay reduced solely because the number of rear admirals is reduced.
