Since my BASD is 2005 and my PEBD is 2000, does this mean when I retire in five years at 20 that I'll actually get paid for 25 years?

So my BASD is 2005 and my PEBD is 2000. Had a five year break in service. Was in the reserves for two years during that time. I'm an E6 getting paid for 19 years. However, only have almost 15 years of active duty time. Does this mean when I retire in five years at 20 that I'll actually get paid for 25 years?

I'd recommend doing a formal inquiry through finance to DFAS to see what that would be. There are a lot of baseball cards in those spokes. Don't know how that would shake out. MPD Retirements may also be able to help.

Ball park figure: subtract your reserve time from your overall time in service.
In order to get a solid answer check with your personnel office.

Also, your retirement will be based on total time in service (last 3). That’s how they calculated mine!

MAJ Javier Rivera so at 20 years active and I'm getting paid for 25 at retirement then I would get the high three for 25 years?

Assuming your PEBD is correct, yes you will get paid for 25 years of service at your retirement.

The percentage of your pay that you will receive is based on active federal service (AFS);therefore your BASD will be used. The pay that percentage is applied to is already computed based on your total service (PEBD).

Correct. He will also get credit for any active duty days (points) as a drilling reservist, few points since a short stint.
Also Diems Date determines retirement plan he will fall under.
It’s not all that unusual as many including myself have broken service, served as SELRES, and eventually retired from active duty.

When I retired, 22 years ago, you would get the 20 years retirement percentage of the pay (40%) of the amount from the over 24 pay column. But there have been several changes in the law since then. See your S-1.

Your retirement will be based like your pay is.
I was guard for four years and active 22. I get paid for 26 but 22 active. The years are past years for finance and country for the percentage but not towards retirement eligibility.

So I found an answer. When I retire in four years with 20 years based off of my BASD, but 25 years based off of my PEBD, I will get paid for 25 years, but at 50%.
