without examination or penalty; provided,
   (1) His license or registration was valid at the time he entered
the armed services.
   (2) That application for reinstatement is made while serving in
the armed services, or not later than one year from the date of

affidavit showing the date of entrance into the service, whether
still in the service, or date of discharge, and the renewal fee for
the current renewal period in which the application is filed is paid.

after discharge or return to inactive status, the applicant, in the
discretion of the licensing agency, may be required to pass an
examination.
   (c) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this code, any
licensee or registrant who, either part time or full time, practices
in this State the profession or vocation for which he is licensed or
registered shall be required to maintain his license in good standing
