rick,
Can you provide the reference for the Navy requiring 8 years of Reserve service to get the reserve retirement? I'm going to be just under 13yrs Active. I couldn't find anything in Title 10 that indicates 8 years reserve are needed.
If the 8 year thing is true, are you implying that it would be possible that if I failed to select to O-5, they would force me to retire at 20 yrs, but not have the full 8 years in the reserves to get the reserve retirement?
