   § 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
 resident of this state and is honorably  discharged  or  released  under
 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
 examination  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
 granted  by  this  section after he or she has received one appointment,
 either original entrance or promotion, from an eligible list on which he
