How does national guard/reserves time count towards retirement?
eirama21 asked:
My husband will have 7 years of active duty service in July 2009. He is thinking of getting out after this next deployment, and going to school full-time to try and get his bachelor’s degree. He plans to stay in either national guard or reserves during the 2 years it will probably take to complete the degree.He then plans to go to OCS and go back in as an officer in Army. He was 17 when he joined.Instead of age 37, around what age would it be with about 2 years reserves/NG?(in other words, how is retirement computed as a reservist/combined with active duty?). Thanks.

Does time in the US Navy count as retirement time when getting a federal civilian job?
Seeker1898 asked:
Hi all! I’m thinking about joining the US Navy for four years but I want to know about something for sure before I join. Does time in the US Navy count as retirement time when getting a federal civilian job? How does the service time get converted over into a federal civilian job? In other words, if I spend four years in the Navy, does that mean all I have to do is work 16 years in a federal job to draw a 20 year pension and get other retirement benefits? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
