Used to be you had a lookback of 6 (Army) or 8 years (I had heard the Navy) of continuous reserve component duty to be able to transfer to retired reserve. Congress got rid of that rule in 2005.
You're right, I wasn't aware that they changed the rule but I confirmed it with my reserve admin folks. This means anyone who makes at least O4 and serves continuously in any combination of AC/RC for 20 should earn at least a reserve retirement.
