The Issue
In the FY20 NDAA, Congress added 12304b order to the list of qualifying duty statuses that counted for early retirement. For the past few years, HRC was incorrectly interpreting law and only counting issues after 2019. In reality, all 12304b orders should qualify back to the creation of the duty status in 2011.
