Pension starts at 60yrs old but i thought you could deduct a day from that for every day you spent deployed to the desert. Maybe someone else on here knows more about that.

No minimum required. You can go into the reserves and do active duty tours until you hit about 17 years worth of active duty points then they will cut you off so that you don’t reach sanctuary.

I can guarantee this as I switched to the reserves not to long ago and did not have to switch SGT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:01:59 -0400 2018-03-12T11:01:59-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-you-have-13-yrs-of-active-duty-time-and-transfer-to-the-army-reserves-will-i-fall-under-the-new-blended-retirement-system?n=3440036&urlhash=3440036 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, LT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 12 Mar 2018 13:51:56 -0400 2018-03-12T13:51:56-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-you-have-13-yrs-of-active-duty-time-and-transfer-to-the-army-reserves-will-i-fall-under-the-new-blended-retirement-system?n=3453746&urlhash=3453746 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>OK, this question causes me to ponder my own situation.
