    <content type="html"><![CDATA[I have a question that I am having a hard time finding and definding in black/white. 

According to Title 5, United States Code dtd 2003 Chapter 21- Definitions: 2101.

the definition for &quot;armed forces&quot; means the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard; and &quot;uniformed services&quot; means the armed forces, the commisioned corps of the Public Health Service, and the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The GPPA Chapter 6 page 6-6 also states that the &quot;uniformed services&quot; consist of the Groups mentioned above. 

Also page 6-6 of the GPAA para 1-6b (1)defines a military retiree &quot;for leave accrual purposes, a military retiree is any member or former member of the &quot;uniformed services.&quot;

So based on the definition above a Retired fulltime National Guard Enlisted Title 32 is not considered or fall under the definiton &quot;uniformed service&quot; and/or &quot;Armed Forces.&quot;  

So is my understanding correct a fulltime National Guard Retiree is not considered a &quot;military retiree&quot;?

For example I have 10 years Active Duty title 10 from 1988 to 1999. I ETSed and went into the National Guard without a break in service and Retired from the Guard Feb 2012.  

Based on the definition does my Title 10 time count towards block 31 SF 50 (SCD (Leave) and towards the mandatory remarks from Table 9-1 Rule 2 Creditable Military Service?]]></content>
