Does anyone know what is going on with the reserve program or actually the lack of it? There are times having a extra set of eyes and hands helps a lot.

Retirement System for thr first year after you retire. If you go back to work within that first year it will screw up your pension. Not sure about the investment folks going back to work. R1 reservist are consider OPS and thus work for the Fl. Retirement System. However if you have been retired for a year or more you can become a R1. The only exception to the one year rule is if you become a school resource officer.
Thank you for that information. How does one become a reserve 1? I was part of the FRS pension plan but haven't retired from it yet. I'm looking to add more years on to my calculations.Quote:
