51. Early retirement? No such thing.

After 20 years of active duty, released from active duty and placed in retired reserve status. Retirees can be recalled to active duty.

If I were What'shisface, I wouldn't run that whine du jour past an 11Bravo who did four tours in the Stan. What'sit not the only member of US armed forces who routinely hang their hindquarters over the line.
