(a) Every resident of this state who is on active duty in the armed services of the United States and who was a resident of Arkansas at the time that he or she entered the armed services, whether stationed in Arkansas or elsewhere, shall be entitled to receive without charge a license to hunt and a license to fish in this state, upon making application therefor in the manner provided in this section.

(c) Every hunting or fishing license issued without charge pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be in the same form and contain the same information as other licenses issued by the commission, and other information the commission may require, and in addition thereto shall be plainly stamped "MILITARY PERSONNEL". Licenses so issued shall expire on the same dates as other hunting and fishing licenses issued by the commission.
