00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,393
- Hello, I'm Sergeant Major
Of The Army, Dan Dailey.

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:06,790
You've probably heard lots
of discussion this year

3
00:00:06,790 --> 00:00:08,790
about the new Blended Retirement System.

4
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:11,010
If you're one of the eligible, active,

5
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:13,280
reserve, or National Guard service members

6
00:00:13,340 --> 00:00:15,233
who still has yet to make a decision,

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,733
your clock is ticking.

8
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:19,570
And we are rapidly approaching
the opt-in deadline

9
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:22,223
of December 31st, 2018.

10
00:00:22,930 --> 00:00:25,510
There's lots to consider when
you're making your decision.

11
00:00:25,510 --> 00:00:27,710
But we have resources
available to help you.

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,360
The biggest thing to remember

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,040
about The Blended Retirement
System is that it offers you

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,060
government provided retirement benefits

15
00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:36,723
even if you don't serve
a full 20 year career.

16
00:00:37,230 --> 00:00:39,690
Of course you'd still have
to serve a full career

17
00:00:39,690 --> 00:00:41,040
in order to earn a pension.

18
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,343
If there's a possibly
you won't serve 20 years,

19
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,400
you should think very
strongly about opting-in

20
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,000
to The Blended Retirement System

21
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,550
and what it could mean for you,

22
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:51,603
both personally and professionally.

23
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,950
Even if you do think you
might serve a full career,

24
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,640
you may be interested in the options

25
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,440

26
00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:00,620

27
