At the point of retirement from active reserve status to retired status [either because of becoming eligible for retirement or mandatory retirement date] each service member has an option to become a gray area retiree which links their retired salary to the active duty salary at the time of their retirement; but, subjects us to recall to active duty.
I have learned from other RallyPoint members that they received Certificates of Retirement from their respective services [US Navy and US Air Force] at the end of military reserve component service.
I expect the US Army and US Marine Corps also provide Certificates of Retirement; but, I have never seen one.

By the way, LTC Ford, the USCG passes them out, too. Hell, Obama doesn't know we exist either, so all is forgiven!!!

Thanks for confirming SCPO (Join to see). I am glad the USCG exists even if the CoC isn't. Perhaps CoC [Commander in Chief] might be considered a pun in this post.
