If this is out there on the 'net, it's well hidden. Anyone?
PS don't say this, which many sites tout - in fact I emailed them asking this question and the email was rejected as "user not known" Way to keep the site updated guys.
I think my answer is "no," but to be honest I have no idea what you're even talking about.
I am talking about someone like me who has done time as both active duty, Guard, and/or Reservist and where/how the heck can you calculate what your retirement pay will be (ie something like total points times # of years and rank, etc).
Every day that you have spent on active duty you count as a point. For example if you spend 9 years and two days on active duty, then you would have 3287 points. Do the same for the guard, since the guard is full-time you would treat it as active duty. As for the reserves, you do the same thing, every drill weekend is worth 4 points I believe.

since the guard is full-time? yes, there are "some' full-timers, but most are traditional (i.e. drill status guardsman, or weekend warriors) guardsman.
all I can say is that after 6 years and some months of active duty, and 18 years as a drilling reservist, plus 10 years in the "retired reserve", my retirement pay is under $700 per month.
I retired as an E-6, having been PNAed for E-7.
