So here is the deal--I have 4 years active duty and 2 "good" years in the National Guard. I have been working for 2 years at the VA as a part-time (paid) GS-9 and I am going back on active duty in about a year. Do I get some type of half-credit toward retirement added to my RPAS?

I guess I didn't make it clear. Its not double dipping if you get out of the military, do something else, and go back to the military. I am not both in the military and at the VA right now.

Military service can sometimes be credited toward federal civil service retirement. Civil service is not credited toward military retirement.
"For all plans, years of service includes credit for each full month of service as one-twelfth of a year. "Years of service" for officers includes all active service, periods of inactive reserve service prior to June 1, 1958, ROTC active duty time prior to October 13, 1964, constructive service credit for Medical and Dental Corps, and drills performed while in the inactive reserve after May 31, 1958. "Years of service" for Fleet Reservists and all other enlisted retirements include all active service, active duty for training performed after August 9, 1956, any constructive service earned for a minority or short-term enlistment completed prior to December 31,1977, and includes drills performed while in the Active Reserves."
