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?
That used to be the case, but the rule was changed (see above).
Among these lines, in my experience, the navy reserve has always granted HYT waivers to folks who got close to retirement but were going to be forced out. Nice policy, but I wouldn't hang my hat on the ability to get a waiver.
