Being in the national guard, what is the point requirement for retirement? I'm sitting at about 1800pts. 11years in.

I don't think there is actually a specific point requirement for retirement SSG (Join to see). Instead there is qualifying years of service which is typically twenty "good" years or more.
I had considerable active duty time so I am retiring in October with 7,515 points.
I encourage you to get as many points and good years as you can.

The only thing you must be aware of is the minimum yearly requirement for performance. Without that it doesn't count as a good year. In other words if you can earn 100 points but 70 is the minimum, be sure to get your 70 each year.

As mentioned earlier the more points means more money at the time you are able to draw retirement. 20 good years is the minimum to receive a pension at age 60. I retired yesterday with 24 years of total service and 5800 points. That was 9 years active and the rest as a Selective Reservist. I was mobilized in 2011 for 41 months and due to NDAA 2008 I am able to use the Active duty time to draw my pension earlier. Reservists retire in a status known as Retired without pay "Grey area" and typically at age 60 begin drawing their pension, And healthcare benefits. The provision of NDAA 2008 allows that for every 90 days of cumulative active duty to be 90 days early that you can draw for pay from age 60. For me that means that I will begin receiving payments at 56 1/2. Hope that helps explain it a little more clearly.

It's been a while, but do need a set amount of points to make a good year. You where required to have 20 good years before retiring if you wanted to collect at age 60. Active duty gives you more points and more point equals a larger retirement. More rank also increases your retirement. Title ten order allows you to subtract amount of time on orders from age 60 and allows you to collect sooner than age 60.

As a 22 yr. retired reservist, you need at least 20 "GOOD" years of service. The more points you have the more retirement pay you will receive at the age of 60. If you are/were deployed in a combat zone, your retirement pay will be sooner, for example you get deployed to Afghanistan for a year, then you'll start receiving your retirement at 59 and so on. If you do 20 years of active duty you will receive 50% of your base pay, reservists /national guard are calculated on how many points you acquire. Hope this helps.

Funny thing is you could end up getting VA disability and no retirement at all. It's all about your planning. Reserve and NG everything is a little different. 20 years in the Reserves and NG isn't the same as 20 years active duty. It's not even close.

There is no point requirement beyond 20 'good' years. So, since a good year is '50 points' then the minimum number of points is 1000, plus 20 'good' years.

You have to get 20 good years. The number of points that you earn only determines the amt of your retired pay.

My opinion is that you have to make your retirement time first, and my understanding is that retirement is 20 years, unless it's medical retirement. There was early retirement at 15 years before, and don't think is available any longer. But making the 20 years, and than adding active duty points with your reserve points will give you the results. Your National guard or reserves admin S1 should have that available, or contact your state retirement Point of Contact, don't forget your chain of command.

I retired out of the National Guard. You need twenty "good" years for retirement. A good year is one where you met the minimum required points for that year. I don't remember what the minimum point requirement is. The average service member used to retire with 20 good years and have around 2,000 points. With all the deployments these days, it's very common to see someone with double that. I retired with 26 total years service, 23 good years and 6,053 points.
