Thank you for the reply CatinaT1... to be clear I did not retire from the military I only served for 4 years.... the reason I'm asking is:
I had 4 years of military service from 1976-1980. When I became a FERS employee in Nov 1987, the FERS program allowed me to "buy in" my years of 4 military service into the FERS system. That set my start time in civil service towards retirement to Nov 1983. The basic question being.... did buying those 4 years of military time into the FERS allow me to get into the Bailey Settlement window.
The answer may still be no... but being an odd situation I don't want to leave any rock unturned.
Thanks again!!!!
