Wrong...you are likely eligible...
....what was the date, 5years after you Started in the Navy ? (not when you started receiving your pension)
So if you started service in the Navy in say 1971, and stayed in (no break in service), then you would be 5-years vested in 1976....and that is long before 12 Aug of 1989.
______________________
if you did have a break in service along the way, then it's that date at which you had 5 years of credited service.
