That retirement plan no longer exists just for the record.
The "total compensation" numbers that military recruiters tout are not actually real.
I know, I lived it for 23 years.
- Barracoon 2y agoBRS still pays at least 40% of base, plus potentially more via TSP assuming people are moving out of the G fund.
- jki275 2y agoOnly if you do 20 years. That's the thing people don't understand about all that -- those fake numbers are including a pension that for the majority of people who are in the military will never exist. BRS was an attempt to give those people something, so they have some TSP matching, but even that only kicks in after six years IIRC. Also DOD healthcare is worth every penny the service-member pays for it.
