Yes, for federal retirement purposes, military service, Peace Corps service, and other qualifying federal agency employment can often be combined to calculate total service time. This cumulative service can impact retirement benefits, such as eligibility and pension calculations. However, specific rules and conditions apply, so it’s essential for individuals to consult the relevant retirement system guidelines or a retirement benefits counselor for accurate information related to their unique situations.

Do military personnel contribute to military retirement?

It works like an old-style pension, rather than a 401k. There's no explicit contributing to it. It's just part of the compensation that if you serve >=20 years and retire, you get retirement pay (which is a percentage of your last active-duty pay). Members of the military do have the option to contribute to a Federal Thrift Savings Plan, which is just an Individual Retirement Account but with a higher yearly contribution limit (as with an IRA at a bank, contributions aren't taxed until withdrawal). This is unrelated to military retirement pay though; all federal employees can set up a Thrift Savings Plan.
