Retirees aren't civilians. We're still subject to the UCMJ. We can be recalled to active duty.

We're paid which is taxed; we have Tricare; we're required to keep an uniform issue, etc. We weren't discharged or released after fulfilling obligation. We're in reserve status.

In other words you can't play; we don't pay. Dismissal is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge. The prep loses every benefit; it's like they never rolled off the bus.
