Retirement: BRS/High 3

From: https://militarypay.defense.gov/Por...stions 03282018.pdf?ver=2018-03-28-235150-797

“A3.3. If you left the military (prior to January 1, 2018) and rejoin after the opt-in decision year (calendar year 2018), upon re-entry you will have 30 days to decide whether to stay in the legacy retirement system or elect the new BRS, so long as you previously met the criteria of having had fewer than 12 years of service as of December 31, 2017, or, for reservists or National Guard, had fewer than 4,320 retirement points as of December 31, 2017. However, if you re-enter military service in 2018, you will have the remaining time in calendar year 2018 or 30 days, whichever is longer, to make a decision to opt into BRS.”

Seems like you’ll be ok. Is that how you read it?

Awesome thanks! BRS has some good things but I definitely want to keep the legacy retirement system. Especially since if I get picked up I will be doing this till I hit my 20.

Thanks for pumping a little life into this thread! This retirement forum is a metaphor for my life in the gray zone!
