Military time and creditable service

0

Q. I was in the Army for eight years. After I got out, I spent 15 years in the National Guard. I got a job with the Postal Service. Now that I am 60, I applied for retirement with the Guard and they used the eight years for my retirement. I bought the eight years back when I joined the Postal Service. Can I use the eight years for the Postal Service retirement also?

A. No.
