			 duty.

			 application and proper documentation, the board's director of licensing
			 shall extend the continuing education reporting period by an amount of time
			 equal to the total number of months that the registrant or their spouse spent
			 on active duty during the current reporting period. For purposes of this
			 division, any portion of a month served on active duty shall be considered one
			 full month.
(3) The registrant shall
			 submit proper documentation certifying the active duty service and the length
			 of that active duty service. Documentation required to obtain an extension or
			 waiver pursuant to paragraph (A)(1) of this rule will be published on the state
			 board of pharmacy's website: www.pharmacy.ohio.gov.
(B) Determining fulfillment of continuing
		  education.
(1) If a registered
			 pharmacy technician is a veteran, the state board of pharmacy shall consider
			 relevant military education, training or service that has been completed by the
			 registration holder no more than two years prior to the thirty first of march
			 of the year in which a technician's registration must be renewed when
			 determining the fulfillment of any continuing education
			 requirements.
(2) For the board to
			 consider relevant education, training, or service completed by a registered
			 technician, the registrant shall submit a request for consideration and
			 evidence or documentation of the education, training, or service to the
			 director of licensing at least thirty days prior to the required continuing
			 education reporting period pursuant to rule 4729:3-5-02 of the Administrative
