That decision, which took effect about a week before Loomis would have been eligible to receive retirement benefits, requires him to wait until he is 60 to begin collecting his pension, officials said."

Yes, at least as of the date that article was posted, but that was September 3, 1997.

It looks like he's had at least one hearing since then (from the link at the unfortunately-numbered #69...

Loomis is preparing to take his protest to the Board for Correction of Military Records in Washington, D.C., because Secretary of the Army Togo West has refused to reverse the July 14 ruling at Fort Hood. That decision, which took effect about a week before Loomis would have been eligible to receive retirement benefits, requires him to wait until he is 60 to begin collecting his pension, officials said."

So, is it possible he could have lost his benefits at a subsequent hearing? It doesn't appear that they threw the book at him the first time out, and I'm not sure how that sort of thing might play out in military courts.
