In the U.S. Navy, service members can typically retire after 20 years of active duty service. However, retirement benefits can be influenced by factors such as rank and the specific retirement plan under which they serve. Some individuals might choose to serve longer for increased benefits, while others may qualify for early retirement under certain circumstances.
