The only good thing about it is if you leave before 20 years are up, you can take it with you. In my experience, if someone has a new way of doing something that wasn't broken, it only benefits them.

Don't do it! Keep with the old system if you can. Ask a finance professional, in the long term the new system only benefits the gov't and those that don't stay for 20yrs.

Not necessarily. For guys just entering active duty in 2018 it can work out better. Just depends on market return and whether you take full advantage of it.

Yeah, only improved if you're sure, and I mean certain, you won't stay 20. I was committed to leave at the 7 year point, and then again at 12 years. And then I stayed for 26. SOOO happy to have the 20 year retirement instead of this new system.

Agree, and I think it will harm retention, especially of those in hot career fields.
