Veteran's Groups: Sound off Boot!

1974-1984, Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine sailor, Navigation ET, Certified Naval Instructor, Tender Technician, earned 2 sets of dolphins from 2 different classes of boat.
Never had the pleasure, I only did limited training with and on Submarines off the coast of California (Once with 10th Group SF) and Hawaii. I earned my SW, AW (both on deployment, not ship's company), and FMF. Er-rah!
 
Im in a similar boat with the career. How does it work with retirement? I have 8.5 active and currently finished year 3 in the reserves. I have 9 years in the reserves left. Also, reserves is counting my cadet time saying I have 14 years towards retirement. Can I keep VA once reserve retirement turns on? You can PM me if you want.

Also, hi I’m bill.

USMA 2010
Army Engineer
Sappers Lead The Way
I was stationed at Fort Lost in the Woods, The Great Place, and Home of the Airborne
Did ‘12 AFG, ‘15 IRQ, ‘17 AFG as a combat engineer
Currently waiting on promotion to major in the reserves and in a dreaded NTC/JRTC OCT Unit. Lol
I don't know about reserves, but if you have combat-related injuries, you can keep both VA and regular retirement. The VA will be able to tell you. They have to.
 
Oorah! I served 2003-2012.
0811 Artillery/ 0842 Counter Battery
0841 designated marksman (before the whole program was lumped into one).

Stationed in Lejeune and then Oki, but spent a lot of my time in the sandbox. Did my 3rd tour with 3rd Recon in Iraq 06-07 in Fallujah AO. All I can say is you guys sure know how to have fun! lol. I also did some time as a combat tracker and HVT escort in Iraq and Afghan.

I get together with a couple of Marines and Army buddies whenever we can. Usually just to talk **** and shoot. I'm game for whatever you have in mind. Maybe a day on the lake?
That sounds great! Are you all near South West Georgia?

You will draw your retirement when you hit 60. The VA has nothing to do with it .. apple’s and oranges .
