Currently, my commander wants to place me on Active Guard Reserve orders. Is this authorized? I called OPM and they said yes, but the National Guard needs proof. Can you direct me to the policy?

Q. I want to retire at age 60. How can I figure out what my Social Security will be from my estimated amount at age 62? I would think it would be better for the the Social Security Administration to give an estimate by going from how much you have actually earned up to that printed estimate date.
Q. I am retiring at the end of this year and will be a 30-year FERS annuitant. I expect to receive a FERS pension and Social Security in retirement.
