What questions do Soldiers have in regards to choosing between the High Three or the new Blended Retirement System?

I ask as there are many Service Members that still have not elected the new system. That in its own right could be the Service Members election...not to vote and stay High Three; however, is this the case or do Service Members need and deserve more information about the new system. Soon the opportunity to choose will pass.

CSM Private RallyPoint Member I think the education has been more than plentiful in many units, however there's a FOMO - fear of missing out for those that are in the in-between years. For me as a reservist with 8yrs and no deployments, it was a no brainer to switch to BRS and get to take my retirement account with me. For someone who has served 9-10yrs active and hasn't contributed a lot to TSP and isn't sure if they want to retire, there a few more questions.
