Fun Fact Friday: The military retired list has four parts??
Why?? You'll see why in a moment.
Soldiers are placed on one of the following lists at retirement:
• U.S. Army (USA) Retired List. All Regular Army (RA) personnel retired for service, age, or physical disability and all personnel on the Army of the United States (AUS) Retired List, including retired warrant officers and enlisted Soldiers of the RA who, by reason of service in temporary commissioned grades, are entitled to receive the retired pay of the commissioned grades.
• Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL). The TDRL consists of officers, warrant officers, and enlisted Soldiers who are retired and placed on the temporary disability retired list for disabilities that may or may not be permanent and would be qualified for retirement under Title 10 section 1201 but for the fact that the disability was not determined to be of a permanent nature and stable.
• Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL). The PDRL consists of officers, warrant officers, and enlisted Soldiers who are permanently retired for disabilities that are of a permanent nature and stable. Such disabilities may not be the result of the member's intentional misconduct or willful neglect, and not incurred during a period of unauthorized absence.
• Retired Reserve List. The Retired Reserve list consists of members of the reserve components who are or have been retired under Title 10 USC sections 7311, 8323, or 9311 or Title 14 section 291. Members of the reserve components who have been transferred to the Retired Reserve, retain their status as Reserves, and are otherwise qualified.
With the possible exception of the US Coast Guard, the other Services are the same. Let me know below if you know differently.
