  MATTER  OF:   Air Force Reserve Majd? Generals


  DIGEST:  Cir   Force Reserve major generals who
             have not been eliminated for years
             of service uer±e- -S---a2, prior
             to reaching age 60 may receive retire-
             ment point credit for service performed
             after they have attained retirement
             eligibility urd&er-Chaper.67- f-it--e-1-G,
             Us&--e-de, only if their retention in
             active status thereafter is approv cv
             he Secretary under S-    e-.   .C.

     This action concerns     ntitlement of Reserve major
generals net-on-e-xe-nded active-duty to receive credit for
service a-ctu.a-l-y-perf-or-med after th.eyreach age 60 for the
purpose of computing their Reserve retirement benefits.
under Chapter 67, title 10, United States Code.

     The matter was presented in a letter dated Septem-
ber 20, 1978, from the Assistant Secretary of the Air
Force (Manpower, Reserve Affairs and Installations),
requesting an advance decision (DOD MPAC Control No. SS-
AF-1307).

     The following specific question is asked:

          Is Secretary of the Air Force approval
     required (under 10 U.S.C. 676) for the award
     of creditable retirement points to Reserve
     major generals for service between ages 60
     and 62?

     Although most Air Force Reserve officers must retire
at age 60, under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 8844,
commissioned officers of the Air Force in the Reserve
grade of major general may remain in an active status
under certain conditions until age 62. Age 60 is also
the time when a Reserve otherwise eligible may qualify for
retired pay under Chapter 67. However, it is suggested
that Sections 8844 and 8852 may permit credit for all
