Are you about to retire from active duty? Are you curious about the benefits your veteran parent should be receiving. You can find answers to many questions folks have after leaving the US Army in the Retirement Services Office Handbook for Retired Soldiers and Family Members.

It’s true. By enlisting and serving in the Army, you will learn several skills that are critical to running the Army. “So what does that have to do with getting a job after I’m out?” A lot – after all the Army is just a big, very big, corporation.  So if the Army develops these skills in their people, you can bet employers will be looking for the same skills when they’re hiring new employees in their corporations.

If you are like most people thinking about enlisting in the Army, you’re in your late teens or early twenties and saving for retirement is probably the furthest thing on your mind. In reality, now is the best time to start preparing for retirement and the Army has an investment program to help you – the Uniformed Services Thrift Saving Plan (TSP).

If you have at least two years of college and are an Army enlisted soldier with at least two years of service, the Army has a program where your job for up to 24 consecutive months is going to school. The Green-to-Gold (G2G) Active Duty Option lets you either finish your bachelor’s degree or if you already have your four-year degree, earn a master’s degree. What’s the catch? You have to agree that once you receive your degree, you will accept a commission as an Army Officer.
