Should the DOD Give reservists immediate retirement pay as proposed.

Under a two-tiered option, both active and reserve troops would be eligible for the “partial benefit” pension check after completing 20 years of service.  The change could reshape the decision-making process for millions of individual troops. It might motivate younger reservists to stay in uniform for a full career. It may also make some active-duty troops view the reserves more positively if transferring into part-time status does not eliminate the possibility of early retirement checks.
