Can a military member retire from the reserves with less than 20 good years?

Posted on Jul 03, 2009 under Retire |

For example, the state I worked for if you were 62 you could retire with only 5 or more years.

Not in the US. NO. To retire you must have 20 plus years in any branch. You can also transfere time between branches but you must have 20 years in the armed services to retire.

I also belive uniformed service time counts toward retirment if you were to tranfere to being a DoD civilian since you stay withnin the DoD service
