Most military retirement advice assumes you'll take the defaults: elect SBP, convert to VGLI, leave the TSP where it is. For a lot of families that's the right call. For some it isn't, and the transition brief rarely tells you which group you're in.

This channel works through the decisions career officers and senior NCOs face on the way out: the Survivor Benefit Plan, VGLI, TSP rollovers, and pension maximization. Plain explanations, the honest case for each default, and the questions worth asking before you decide.
