For enlisted ranks, it depends on the service. In the Navy you’re not transferred to the retired rolls until 30 years. So if you retire at 20, you can be recalled over the next 10 years. That’s the Navy, not sure about the other services.
For officers, I’m pretty sure we are subject to recall for the rest of our lives, but there are some caveats.
