[ANG to AFRES Questions]

Herkbum,

Thanks for responding, but I was referring to the traditional side of the house. Can you switch to a Guard unit and retire 3 years later after hitting 20. Do states mandate so many years in the unit before you can retire or is the Guard Bureau/AF paying the retirement? 

[ANG to AFRES Questions]

Quick question about going the other way, AFRES to ANG. Does the state pay retirement or the AF? If I went to a guard unit and did at least 3 years for the aircraft transition, could I retire or would I have to do a lot more? If you retire from the guard as a traditional, are you basically an AFRES retiree? 

[Technician/GS/Other Agency and Mil Leave]

I'm guessing you are limited to 5 yrs Mil Leave in Federal positions.  How does it work if you switch agencies- say Guard Tech to other Agency?  Does the 5 yrs start over by Agency or is it all under OPM time?
