Are you talking retirement points here? I just filed for retirement pay from the NG. Unless something has changed, you have to earn points such that you have 18 "good(50+ points per year.)" years to claim sanctuary. I had a senior NCO try to retire at 20 but didn't have 20 "good" years.

I had a SSG in my unit who had pilot wings. He was a Vietnam F-4 pilot. He came back in to get his 20 then retire.
