We have two navs in my squadron who are active duty retirees that have come back to the Reserves. The pay is exactly as stated above: You get paid your reserve pay for the days you work and retirement day the rest of the year.
One positive thing. Since returning one of the guys was promoted to Lt Col. The other's board is this year. The promotee told me that upon "re-retiring" he will continue to draw retired 20 year active duty Major's pay until age 60, which is the age we reservists start drawing our retirement pay. At age 60, his retirement pay will be recalculated as a Lt Col. Also, all the points he earned as a reservist will be added to his retirement. Since he earned the points & got promoted as a reservist I can see the logic in adding that to his pension at age 60. As far as the fairness of the pension starting at 60, that's another thing entirely that I won't go into.
