Learning about military retirement

How do you know if you're elegible for military retirement pay? Generally, to qualify for the federal military retirement, a service member must have completed at least 20 years of qualifying uniformed service. Medically unqualified members of the selected reserve with more than 15 qualifying years of service may request early retirement. Military retirement payscale is based on years of service and last rank held.
