Thanks Jason!
It looks like I can apply for my NG retirement and ask them to credit me with my CBHCO/CBWTU time thy had overlooked to credit me with.
If that happens, then I will need to be backdated CRDP since MAY 2012 since I had a 20 year NG letter before I was placed on PDRL.
And, I was aged 56 yrs/ 9 mths at time of PDRL - rated 100% P&T - with total time of 4 YEARS early retirement time credit.
Thanks Jason!

Recall that you cannot receive your NG Retirement. See AR 135-180:
"Chapter 2
Criteria
2–1. Eligibility
a. To be eligible for retired pay, an individual need not have a military status at the time of application, but must
have—
(1) Attained age 60.
(2) Completed a minimum of 20 years of qualifying service.
(3) Served the last 8 years of his or her qualifying service as aReserve component soldier. Service in the Army of
the United States, without specification of component, is deemed to be service in a Reserve component. Service
performed concurrently in a Reserve component and the Regular Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast
Guard is not creditable as service in a Reserve component for determining this period. The last 8 years of qualifying
service need not be the last 8 years of military service, nor do they have to be continuous. Examples: An individual
who: Served 14 years as a reservist and then 6 years in the Regular Army must serve an additional 6 years in a Reserve
status to qualify for retired pay. Even though this person has completed 20 years of qualifying service, only 2 of the
last 8 years of such service met the requirement of (3) above. Thus he or she must serve an additional 6 years in one of
these categories to meet the requirement of the last 8 years of qualifying service. Served 13 years in the Regular Army,
then 7 years as a reservist, followed by 4 years in the Regular Army must serve an additional year in a Reserve status
to qualify for retired pay. Even though he or she has completed over 20 years of qualifying service, he or she must
serve 1 more year as a reservist to meet the requirement of the last 8 years of qualifying service.
(4) Performed active service during some portion of any of the following periods, if a Reserve component or Army
of the United States soldier without component before 16 August 1945:
(a) After 5 April 1917 and before 12 November 1918.
(b) After 8 September 1940 and before 1 January 1947.
(c) After 26 June 1950 and before 28 July 1953 (active duty other than for training).
(d) After 13 August 1961 and before 31 May 1963; or after 4 August 1964 and before 28 March 1973 (active duty
other than for training).
b. In addition, an applicant must—
(1) Not be entitled to retired pay from the Armed Forces under any other provision of law.
(2) Not have elected to receive disability severance pay in lieu of retired pay at age 60. Reserve personnel
involuntarily relieved from active service who are not eligible for retired pay at time of release, but who are paid
readjustment pay under the provisions of 10 USC 687, are eligible to receive retired pay under this regulation provided
they are otherwise qualified at a later date."
Aside from that, the overall thrust of your post seems correct.
