Policy on Ordering Retired Members to Active
Duty
Retired members may be ordered to active duty in
time of war or national emergency at the discretion of
the SECNAV. They may not be ordered to active duty
at other times without their consent. They may not be
ordered to active duty solely for the purpose of receiving
hospitalization or medical treatment.
Notification of Address Change by Retirees
Retired members not on active duty must always
keep the DFAS, Cleveland Center, Cleveland, Ohio
informed of their address.
Retired Members who Travel Outside the
United States
Members of the Retired List who desire to travel or
reside outside the United States must report their
departure, expected duration of travel, and forwarding
address to the Commanding Officer, Naval Reserve
Personnel Center. Retired members should advise the
proper United States Naval Attache of their presence if
they intend to reside in the country or, while visiting, to
call on senior officers of the local military. This is not
intended to impose any restriction, but rather to enable
the Naval Attache to advise retired members of local
conditions regarding calls or visits.
Retirement Orders and Authorizations
Retirement orders and authorizations for personnel
on active duty are issued by the CHNAVPERS or by
SECNAV. Retirement orders for involuntary retirement
are normally issued 3 to 6 months in advance of the
scheduled date of retirement.
Disability retirement
orders and voluntary retirement orders or authorizations
are issued as early as practical following approval of
retirement by the SECNAV. Retirement orders and
authorizations for personnel on inactive duty are issued
by the CHNAVPERS.
Voluntary Retirement of Enlisted Personnel
Under authority contained in Title 10 U.S.C. section
6326, any enlisted member of the Regular Navy who
has completed at least 30 years of active service maybe
retired upon application. The following service, less
time lost, is creditable in determining whether the
required active service for retirement has been met:
l Active service as an enlisted member, aviation
cadet, warrant or commissioned officer, including active
duty for training performed subsequent to 9 August
1956, in the Navy Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, or
Coast Guard, or in the Reserve components of those
services.
. An enlistment in the Regular Navy terminated by
discharge for the convenience of the government within
3 months of the normal expiration of the enlistment or
extended enlistment may be credited as the full term of
enlistment or extended enlistment. The period elapsing
between the date of early discharge and normal date of
expiration of enlistment or extended enlistment is not
creditable for purposes of computing basic pay. A
minority enlistment is not creditable as a full enlistment
for retirement.
Release from active duty is effected on the day
immediately preceding the effective date of retirement.
The effective date of retirement is specified in the
retirement orders issued by the Chief of Naval Personnel
or by the Secretary of the Navy. A member should not
be retained on active duty beyond the scheduled date of
release from active duty unless authority for such
retention is specified in the retirement authorization.
Two copies of retirement orders should be
forwarded by endorsement, indicating the member’s
home address following retirement, to the Commanding
Officer, DFAS, Cleveland Center, via the disbursing
officer carrying the personal financial record (PFR) of
the member on the date of release from active duty. One
copy of the retirement orders, after being completed by
the disbursing officer, is placed in the current service
record of the member.
