My ASOSH on BOL and NSIPS shows 20 years and I have my retirement orders letter that PERS-9 sent to me last year effective next month. Is there anything else I need to do besides disappear in the ether and eventually get a retiree ID once someone updates my status in DEERS?

My Navy HR website: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Reserve-Personnel-Mgmt/Reserve-Retirements/

I would take the time to go through the pertinent details and make sure you’ve done everything possible and are aware of the “Grey Area” details.

Otherwise, normal “unit check out” stuff assuming you’re still involved.

The info above is pretty good. Only things to add are to check on the Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Program and make sure you have the proper election; also might want to write down and login once a month to your dfas / mypay account so it stays active until you retire. You may want to order your service records and medical records. Finally, you may want to call PERS-912 and have them send you a copy of your point capture total as a backup. Congratulations!

BTW: pension is Point Total / 360 x 0.025 x Base pay (high 3)

Base pay is determined by your point total. Even though you have your 20 good years, if you have 5400 points your base pay year would be year 15 (5400 / 360 = 15)

Questions:
1. I’m assuming this formula is for legacy retirement not BRS.
2. Does the “high 3 base pay” auto adjust for inflation as military salaries keep increasing after you retire? I believe this is how it works but haven’t seen that explicitly stated.

I would make sure to download your OMPF before you turn everything in, while I am a pack rat I still ended up missing a handful of things that the OMPF had. If you have done any active duty time you could also ask PERS for an estimate of when you will get your retirement, it isn't official but it'll give you an idea if you and the Navy are on the same sheet of music with that, you can do it after you retire but if you do it now you have an easier chance to correct it if wrong.

As I understand it, you're correct. Assuming your address on NSIPS is up to date, you should receive your 20 year letter in the mail within about 6-8 weeks, and be able to apply for a retired ID at some point after your official retired date (no idea how long DEERS retired entry takes, and I expect to have complications with the ID office since nothing with them is ever straightforward).

I'm in a similar category- will be low-crawling over the 20 year line in a couple of weeks. Cheers, and congrats!

I recently retired at the first opportunity after reaching 20 years. I could still access BOL for a few weeks after my official retirement date, and I was able to download an updated ASOSH that showed 20 good years' worth of point totals. The only difference on this "final report" was the extra 1 point for membership for the 2 weeks between reaching 20 years and the 1st of the following month.

I might be misunderstanding your question…but…your retirement pay is adjusted every year via a COLA formula run off your initial retirement calculation, not in line with military pay increases. So, if you retire as an O-5 reservist with X number of points that allows you a high 3 of $4641 a month your pay will only go up by COLA, for example 3% even if military pay is increased by 10% across the board.
