Normally you gain 15 membership points each year you are in the Guard. And four IDT points for each full drill weekend. Plus you can earn one IDT point for every three credit hours of correspondence courses with a grade of satisfactory or better. These are your career points. They are added to your retirement points, to calculate your retirement. But again, you are only allowed to add 90 Career points per year. You are not allowed to carry over non allowed career points from one year to the next. IE: if you earned 110 career points in 2007, you would only be allowed to count 90 of them for retirement, and the other 20, would not count. You would not be allowed to shift the 20 to 2008. Think of career points as Bonus retirement points. Ok, you are allowed to add up to 90(after 2000 )
