At any rate, the Donnie Wahlberg divorce is due to irreconcilable differences per the Houston Chronicle. Evidently, wife Kim Fey Wahlberg had enough of hearing about how sweet this New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) reunion is going to be (we guess).
Check your retirement points every year (ARNG/USAR). As a member of the Army Reserve/National Guard, you must have 20 years of service to be eligible for retired pay when you reach the age of 60. A qualifying year is one in which you earn a minimum of 50 retirement points. The reference for how retirement points are established can be found in AR 140-185. It is your responsibility to ensure that you achieve the minimum points required to achieve a qualifying year.
This was from 1968 to 1974 so trying to assemble the necessary forms has been problematic. I finally got a Retirement Points statement from the Army Human Resources Command. This is a grid that shows Non-Active Duty points and Active Duty points for 6 years. I thought I was home free, but the VA says that one of the years shows 15 points for non-active duty but total points of 0 so that year doesnât count and I only have 5 years of eligible service.
