Not true read it here, the guidance is crystal clear and is not up to local interpretation.

Q: What is SCD (service computation date)?
A: It is a date assigned by the government that is used for benefit (leave,
retirement) determinations and is based on how long a person has been in the federal service. This can include active military time or service with another federal agency. This date is found on an employee’s SF-50.
Retired or not it says active duty time. What are you reading that tells you anything different? I am looking at NATCA documentation (The only true guidance on seniority) It may have been the way you are saying before Oct 1st 2004 when this changed. It sounds to me that was the information you where giving out before when the first tie breaker used to be in fact Military time. In a small facility you might only have one or two with this problem and they might always use SCD, they just have to understand they lose their spot and use a different tie breaker if they leave the bargaining unit for any reason.
