A qualifying year of service is a complete retirement year in which the member earned a minimum of 50 retirement points. The serviceâs reserve personnel center will send the member a âNotification of Eligibility for Retired Pay at Age 60â letter â often referred to as a 20-year letter.
For the IRR, you've got ~24 years before you can actually collect that pension. That's about 360 retirement points for doing nothing. You can still get promoted (don't have to worry about positions), go to school, and volunteer for duty. Much more flexibility than retired reserve (going back TPU is mostly a matter of luck).
