According to Article 2 of UCMJ, "Retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay" are covered by UCMJ. Does this mean that retirees can be charged with UCMJ violations even long after retirement and when not doing anything related to the military? Has this ever happened?

Yes they can for crimes committed while on active duty.

I think this would be the case only with a serious offense on a military base or involving other military personnel.

I have been medically retired from the NAVY for 40+ years and I am still subject to UCMJ?

Back in The 80's I knew of a Senior Chief Ship's Serviceman brought back onto active duty after retiring because an audit revealed theft from the ship's store that the SHCS had been a part of.

Long after I retired, a gunny came up to me and asked me why I was wearing my Marpat trou. I told him because I could. He first told me that what I was doing was stolen honor. I was going to blow him off, but I decided to show him my ID, and then he said I could get recalled and court martialed for wearing the trou. At that point, I tuned him out despite his continual insistence that I go change out of them.

I assume so. I have been retired now for the past 23 years and only once I had read about an incident in Puerto Rico. I believe it had something to do with the bombng range that the military was using against the wishes of their government. He decided to return all his personal awards and I think his retired military pay too. But don't quote me on this because the article has been so long ago.
