Just curious how Guard time converts to active on pay scale (service time). I found this post on a forum. Does it look right?
>You need a minimum of 50 to have a "good year", in other words to count toward eventual retirement. A normal two day drill weekend is worth 4 pts, you get 15 membership points for the year, and a normal two week AT is worth 15. So, by just attending all your drills and AT you will get 78 points. Active duty time is worth one point per day.
So my question...four years of Guard (SMP) converts to about a year toward active time?
