I served 12 years active duty Air Force and then entered the reserves where I served another 24 years. I retired at age 55 with 36 total military years. I did not feel that I was completely retired until I turned 60 years of age and started to receive Air Force retired pay and received my grey ID card. I now feel that I am in the same ranks as other retired Chiefs.

Could you clarify what a "gray area retiree" is? I can think of several definitions, but have never heard/read this term before.

SFC Chris Smith Yes pay and medical would be nice. Congress is working on that although very slowly. But we still have use of the commissary, BX/PX, MWR etc like any other retiree. And most gray area retirees have a civilian job. For me it gives me satisfaction that at age 60 I will retire for good from everything. While many in the civilian work force with no military experience will work to 65 or 70.
