how many points needed for active retirement
You get one point for each day of duty. You need to accumulate 75 inactive points per year for 20 years to be eligible to retire. 60/75 POINT RULE. Guard/Reserve members may accumulate a total of 365 points per year (366 in a leap year) from inactive and active duty service (one point for each day of duty). However, for retired pay calculation purposes, members canât use more than 60 inactive points per year (for Reserve years ending before 23 September 1996) or 75 inactive points per year (for reserve years ending on or after 23 September 1996).
