22 YEARS OF NAVAL SERVICE, 16 ACTIVE AND 6 RESERVE. WILL I BE ABLE TO GET A RETIREMENT?

[leegrangerhb]

HEY GUYS, I AM CURRENTLY GOING THRU A MEDBOARD AWAITING RATTING DECISION WITH THE VARR. CONSIDERING I HAVE 22 YEARS OF "COMBINED" SERVICE WILL I BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF RETIREMENT WITH NAVY. IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING TO ME... I AM "AD" AT THE MOMENT BUT MY LES STATES 22 YEARS WITH MY RESERVE TIME. I AM EXPECTING TO BE 100% RATED VA BUT OF COURSE I WONT KNOW UNTIL THE DECISION COMES IN. I DID ASK TO BE PUT IN FOR CRSC WITH MY PEBLO AS WELL, DUE TO MY 2005 AND 2011 IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN DEPLOYMENT. I BELIEVE I WILL BE MEDICALLY RETIRED FROM THE NAVY AS I WAS FOUND UNFIT AND AWAITING THE RATING DECISION BY VARR. I PROBABLY DIDN'T VERBALIZE THE QUESTION IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE, BUT MAINLY WONDERING IF I MERIT A RETIREMENT WITH THE 22 YEARS. ANY GUIDANCE, HELP, OR ADVICE IS EXTREMELY WELCOME.
THANKS EVERYONE,
LEE.

Hello @leegrangerhb

Useful web sites:
Discussion, DoD Retired Pay and VA Compensation LINK <----
Collection of CRSC information LINK <—-

I know little about Navy procedures such as Fleet Reserve, etc.

However, if you were in the Army Reserves, you would need “20 good years” for a reserve retirement at age 60 (can be reduced for certain deployments). You would also need a VA rating of 50% or more for CRDP eligibility.

If your MEB finds you unfit at 30% or more, you would be eligible for disability retirement pay, but it will be reduced dollar for dollar in the amount of VA compensation you receive. You might qualify for CRSC.

@Provis might be able to discuss a 15 year retirement with you.

@PERS-95 is the resident Navy SME.

Good luck,
Ron
