Richard asked:


I am a federal employee, and I am joining the National Guard. When I went to MEPS, I had to put down the amount of time I have been a federal employee. In passing, a person at MEPS said that my time as a federal employee counted towards something once I joined the Army. What does my time as a federal employee count towards once I join the Army?

You know, you did this job in the air force, and when you are applying for jobs after you are done with the air force, it looks outstanding on your resume?

career
scottklajic asked:


I spent 3 years, 9 months and 10 days on active duty (was released 3 months early for graduate school) That gives me on my retirement printout 1371 retirement points.

Then, I joined the guard and received another 164. Total retirement points 1535 for a total 5 “good” years.

However, I also did some correspndence corses which I was told to turn in to the retirement person which shows up on my printout as “ACCP Misc Points” and is added to the “Total Career Points” column–NOT the “Total Points for Retirement Pay” column.

Question–what is the difference between “career points” and “retirement points?” If career points are not calculted for retirement pay, what are they good for?
To the one responder so far–I am sure you know what you are talking about–however, I have no idea what “non-retirement bond” means.
