When you seperated you got credit for 360 points for every full year of AD..and 30 points per month for every month you were in short of a year..then point per day/etc. So if you were AD for 10 years then went into the reserves..the DAY you showed up at Reserve UTA you had 3600 points. Every day you work in the reserves adds to that..so your your AD counts.
However...you have to have 20 "good" years to be eligible..then retire.
Then you have to have to meet the requirements of the new rule. For every 90 days on MPA/AD you get your benefits 90 days earlier than age 60. If they make this retroactive and you did 2 years after 9-11 then you get your retirement at 58.
However no deployments you participated in while AD count toward early retirement - AD was your full time primary job. Now that you are a reservist you can qualify to get earlier retirement by doing 90 day blocks.
