Can Medcon Orders be used to lower retirement date?

[sbarq1]

Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows if you are injured on AD and have subsequent Medcon and Incap while being operated on and healed can you upload those orders to have your retirement date lowered? Seems like if the time in country buys down your retirement date that having an injury in country and operations/therapy would be added to that time if that makes any sense.

Thanks for the input

If you are guard and deployed, after 2008 and on title 10 orders, it will lower your retirement age. This link explains

I would have to look at what the orders authorization is. (12301D etc...). The law actually lists the specific authorizing statutes that count for reduced retirement.
