<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why are you worried about AD sanctuary? If you have 20 or more qualifying “good” years you qualify for the reserve retirement at age 60 if you started at age 36...unless you have a break in service not mentioned.<br />I had a CSM in one command that figured he’d make more money as a traditional Reservist rather than a AD AGR so he went off AGR tour with less than two years until turning 60 he’s now drawing way better monthly pay .

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>These references are not dependant on each other. If you are an O5, and not on a promotion list, you&#39;re gone at year 28 regardless of age. If you are 62 years of age, you&#39;re gone regardless unless some special circumstances. If you are 60 in the Reserves or Retired Reserve, you can start drawing retirement. No reason to wait. Re: the &quot;draw more money&quot; aspect. If you buy retirement in the Civil Service under FERS, the additional years you buy gives you a bump in that retirement. That bump when added to a Reserve retirement can be more than some other combination AD/Reserve bottom lines. I bought 10 years of CS retirement for $10K (dating myself). That made my 32 year CS retirement annuity a 42 year one. I get $18K more a year just in the annuity piece. That was the biggest no brainer to do. Second biggest no brainer was doing at least 5% in TSP. You make 100% on the deposit every payday. After that, it&#39;s in whatever growth mix you&#39;ve chosen.
