Rickair,

Excellent synopsis!! Truly.. I have recently been doing the calculating and arrived at the same numbers using the ARPC website calculator, Air Reserve Personnel Center - Home I think.

One other interesting tidbit I saw in a Military Officer Assn magazine was that there is a bill, or maybe just an effort, to move the reserve retirement to 55, without ever doing the 90 active duty days per year.

The big takeaway I have is make sure you max the point total every year(130pts)

Another little thing I have discovered is the VRS website for AF dudes( https://www.my.af.mil/reservenetprod...efaultvrs.aspx ), to volunteer for TDYs, like 120 days to Germany, for example, that would be great ways to max out points, move up your retirement age and NOT have to go to the sandbox.
