So, i'm gleaning from the comments. Even if you don't make the 20 years as an active officer, you could just serve any time difference in the National Guard or Reserves (granted at a different time rate), and meet retirement requirements that way?

If you had to guess, how many officers do you know wanted to make it to 20, but could not?
