A person who has enlisted on or after the appointed date, in consideration—
(a)
of his being permitted to undergo a prescribed course of instruction or a course of instruction of a prescribed class; or
(b)
of the conferring on him of such other benefit or advantage as may be prescribed, may be required by the competent authority to undertake, in the prescribed form, not to determine his full-time service before the expiration of such period beginning with the day on which that course of instruction ends as may be prescribed or, as the case may be, before the expiration of such period as may be prescribed in relation to that other benefit or advantage.
