Question

Upon completion of 30 years of active duty service, you are qualified for which categories of retirement?

A) Active duty retirement
B) Reservist retirement
C) Both A and B
D) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A) Active duty retirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Upon completing 30 years of active duty service, a service member qualifies for active duty retirement. Reservist retirement, on the other hand, is typically for those who serve in the National Guard or Reserve components and it accrues differently, often requiring a combination of active and non-active service that equates to 20 'good' years of service, but with retirement payments generally starting at age 60.

Given the question references 30 years of active duty, the correct answer would be A) Active duty retirement. This kind of retirement pays benefits immediately upon retirement, based on a percentage of the service member's base pay and the amount of service time.
