Points statement
Your year-by-year retirement points history.
For Guard and Reserve members
Twenty years in. Is every point on your record?
Before your 20-year letter, your retirement application or your last day, check your record against the rules: points, retired pay, DD-214s and awards. When the pilot opens, you'll get a plain list of what's missing and who fixes it.

About $682 a month
1,965 points ÷ 360 = 5.46 years. 5.46 × 2.5% = 13.65% of an estimated High-3 of $5,001.98. The 24 points in question are worth about $8.34 a month for life.

The moments to check your record
-
Every anniversary year
Your points statement shows the year's points. A year counts as one of your 20 qualifying years only with 50.
10 U.S.C. 12732(a)(2) -
After a tour of 90 days or more
A DD-214 should follow for 90 or more continuous days. So should a tour of more than 30 days on a named contingency.
DAFI 36-3202, Table A2.1; DoDI 1336.01 ¶3.2.a -
Your 20-year letter
The 90-day window for your RCSBP election begins the day you receive it.
10 U.S.C. 1448(a)(2)(B) -
Your retirement application

10 U.S.C. 12733, 12739 -

Retired pay
How is Guard and Reserve retired pay figured?
Divide your retirement points by 360 to get years, multiply by 2.5% (2.0% under BRS), then by your High-3. The result is rounded down to the dollar.

Points
Why are points missing from my statement?
Points post from orders and drill records, so an order that never posted means points that never posted. A year counts toward the 20 you need only with 50 points.

Reduced age
What counts toward reduced retirement age?
Each 90 days of qualifying duty after January 28, 2008 takes 3 months off age 60, down to age 50. Days can add up within one fiscal year, or two consecutive fiscal years for service after September 30, 2014.
- 10 U.S.C. 12731(f)
DD-214s
Am I owed a DD-214 for a Guard or Reserve tour?
A tour of 90 or more continuous days, or more than 30 days on a contingency operation, should end with a DD-214. Drill weekends and annual tours don't produce one.

Questions
Is this an official DoD tool?
No. MyRecordReview is an independent service, not affiliated with or endorsed by DoD, the Air Force, DFAS or the VA. Your personnel center, your unit personnel section and DFAS make the official determinations.
Do you need my CAC or portal login?
Never. When the pilot opens, it will work from PDFs you download yourself. Today we only take an email address.
Will you fix my record?
No. The report shows what the record says, what the rule says and which document settles it. You take that to your unit's MPS or FSS, or to ARPC's retirement counseling cell.
Which records does it cover?
The pilot starts with Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard records. Army National Guard and Army Reserve formats are planned next. Active duty or already retired? Join the list and tell us which; we're counting.
What will it cost?
Joining the list is free. We'll post the pilot price before it opens.
