HRS §88-141
How military service affects your pension pay calculation
This section says that when figuring out your pension benefits, time spent in the armed forces (and the short period right after, when you weren't a state employee) is treated as if you had kept earning your regular state pay. It only applies to certain pension sections.

The statute, as written — Computation of compensation earned or earnable
In any case where it shall become necessary, for the purposes of sections 88-131 to 88-142, to determine the compensation or average compensation of a member of the system during any period of the member's service in the armed forces, or during any period immediately thereafter while the member was not an employee as defined in section 88-21, the member's rate of compensation during the period shall, for the purposes of sections 88-131 to 88-142, be deemed to have been that which the member would have received but for the member's service in the armed forces.
