He's been out more than 8 years I'm going to bet and that's the limit for recall.

Ed: 2011.

If he is retired from the military and collecting a pension, he is still subject to the UCMJ.

That's not what the laws I've find say.

UCMJ Article 2 lists who the UCMJ applies to. Subsection a4 states:

Retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay.

How do we know he even chose to collect, you don't have to and he's an astronaut there's a good chance he's independently wealthy at this point.

Federal law says 12 years, I thought it was 8 but it's 12 now.
