Retirement credit

0

Q. I was called to active duty in 2009 to serve in Iraq. However, when I was ordered to active duty, I used my annual leave and my military leave during my short stay. While serving on active duty, I was getting paid and retirement deductions were being deducted from my pay, along with all the other deductions. So, my question is: Shouldn’t that time be counted toward federal credit? Especially since retirement deductions were being taken and I was using leave the whole time.
A. Yes.
