Retirement Plan

To be able to fully retire at age 40, so great!!!

TSP is a great retirement plan. No matching of funds unfortunately.

Retirement is a tool for retention, but not comparable to the current economy and other non-monetary sacrifices for some

TSP and pension plans are pretty good. I wouldn't know about the pension plan but guys that retire are taken care of for the most part. TSP is a very good investment plan and I would recommend starting it right away. Even if you only do 4 years inside of the Army that money will be working for you for the rest of your life. You also have the option to take it out and roll it over into a private IRA or Roth IRA

Very good at their retirement plan. 20 years and you are set

Benefits carry over upon retirement, unless you are not Honorably discharge, then certain benefits will be allowed.

Thrift savings plain and 20 year retirement

Thrift Savings Plan and pension at twenty years of service.

You can retire after 20 years. The pay is 50% of your base salary at 20. The more years have the more money you make up to 75% of base pay. Medical is real cheap for the whole family $56 per month. Dental is a little over $100 per month. Plus some copay
