4 yrs til retirement
I'm starting my 29th year of fed service (4 Navy and 24 Customs and Border Protection) I will retire 7/31/28, 3 days after my 56th birthday. I just got my HR retirement estimates for FERS and the supplement SS bridge. I'm a 12-10 now so my High 3 are based on base pay since I'm not an OT hound. I'm hoping my balance will be over the million mark, a divorce in 2006 set me back a bit, but I have recovered well enough. With pension, SS bridge and small VA benefit I won't have to immediately tap my TSP.
