| Navy authorizes retiring officers to stay until December |
| 2020-04-15 |
| [American Mil News] The Navy is offering active-duty and full-time support officers, currently on active duty who are slated to retire on or before Dec. 1, 2020, to remain on active duty but in a retired status until the end of the year. The offer is part of the Navy’s plans to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, while helping the service maintain operational, Sailor and family readiness. According to NAVADMIN 105/20, released April 9, officers in the rank of captain or below, who must retire due to statutory requirements between now and Dec. 1, can submit a request to serve longer under a provision known as "retire/retain." Those who are required by law to retire because of statutory age limits, years of commissioned or active service or for failures of selection to the next rank may be eligible, if already retirement eligible. The officer would still retire on their scheduled date but would then continue to serve with active-duty pay and entitlements until Dec. 31, unless they request an earlier date. |

| #1 "Retire/retain"...? Appears to add an entirely new meaning to the term 'retired on active duty.' |
