  S 6. Appointments and promotions in the civil service of the state and
all of the civil divisions thereof, including cities and villages, shall
be  made  according  to  merit  and fitness to be ascertained, as far as
practicable, by examination which,  as  far  as  practicable,  shall  be
competitive;  provided,  however, that any member of the armed forces of
the United States who served therein in time of war,  and  who,  at  the
time of such member's appointment or promotion, is a citizen or an alien
lawfully  admitted  for  permanent  residence in the United States and a

honorable  circumstances from such service, shall be entitled to receive
five points additional credit in a competitive examination for  original
appointment and two and one-half points additional credit in an examina-
tion  for  promotion  or,  if  such  member  was  disabled in the actual
performance of duty in any war and his or her disability is certified by
the United States department of veterans affairs to be in  existence  at
the time of application for appointment or promotion, he or she shall be
entitled  to receive ten points additional credit in a competitive exam-
ination for original appointment and five points additional credit in an
examination for promotion. Such additional credit shall be added to  the
final  earned  rating of such member after he or she has qualified in an
examination and shall be granted only at the time of establishment of an
eligible list. No such member shall receive the additional credit grant-
