Mr. Christenson,

I believe what Mr. Twardowski is referring to is the age at which Texas National and State Guard veterans receive their retirement pay.

If a soldier enlists in the TXARNG at 18, then retires at 38, that soldier doesn’t receive their retirement pay for another 22 years.

That also applies even to soldiers that were prior service Active Duty and transfer to TXARNG, where they retire from.

Since the amount of a soldier’s retirement is based on a certain number of points, then the age at which they receive the pay they earned should be as well.
