To be honest, it is not the military's job to educate you about retirement accounts. They are there to fight wars/keep the peace.

Any adult, military or not, should be able to learn at a very minimum the basics of investment.

Sorry, it just rubs me the wrong way when people complain about things that aren't legitimate. Any new accession nowadays is taught enough about the BRS and TSP to get them started.

We as adults should have educated ourselves long ago, on our own. Just wait until you get out and see how much the military did in fact hold your hand for.
