 This week, it's all about that retirement, or more specifically, retirement benefits. So let's jump right in. First, you've probably heard a lot about proposed plans underway to update and modernize the military retirement system. It's been talked about quite a bit, and this week it's on the cover of Navy Times. Well, let's clear up what's going on first, and I cannot stress this enough. The Navy 20 year retirement system isn't being taken away from you or any of your shipmates. If you're currently serving, your retirement will not change. Any change will only be for new sailors after the plan is accepted. No bait and switch. With that said, let's look at the proposed change. Congress is considering a new retirement system, and whereas the old system only pays those that make the military a 20 year career, the new proposed system would bring some level of retirement benefits to the more than 80% of sailors who don't hit the 20 year mark. 401K style. The current proposal on Capitol Hill calls for the government to set up an investment account for you and to use contribution matching, mid-career bonuses, and the promise of a fixed retirement after 20 years, all those incentives to reward military service. So that's the basic proposal. It's still getting batted around a bit, but it's a safe bet to expect some level of change to the system in the near future. As that proposal moves forward, we will keep you updated. In the meantime, let's see if you know what questions or comments you have on the proposal, and we'll get them answered. Now, for a quick look ahead, next week, we'll be pushing out a minor update to the Navy performance evaluation system. This will clarify guidance already released via nav admins, Navy instructions, and provide a little bit of new guidance all in one convenient place. If you have any more questions, shoot us a tweet at usmpeople. There's more info in this edition of the weekly wire, but I think we're done here. For the chief naval personnel, I'm Sonali Fabrizio. Thanks for watching.
