00:01.227 --> 00:03.640
- Hey soldiers, this is
Command Sergeant Major Copeland

00:03.640 --> 00:04.920
for America's Army Reserve.

00:04.920 --> 00:07.493
I'm coming to you with a
very important message.

00:07.600 --> 00:10.983
December 31st, 2018 is
a very important date.

00:11.210 --> 00:13.010
It is the last chance to opt into

00:13.010 --> 00:14.933
the new Blended Retirement System.

00:15.150 --> 00:17.530
Be sure you fully
understand how BRS works,

00:17.530 --> 00:20.543
because you won't be able
to opt in after the 31st.

00:20.820 --> 00:23.180
The links on the screen will
give you detailed information

00:23.180 --> 00:26.273
about the program so you can
make an informed decision.

00:26.510 --> 00:29.569
Also look into the TSP
or Thrift Saving Program,

00:29.569 --> 00:32.810
because just opting in
is not all your benefits.

00:32.810 --> 00:35.260
You need to look at the
Thrift Saving Program, also.

00:35.260 --> 00:37.623
So check it out before time runs out.

00:37.680 --> 00:40.080
It is up to you to take
advantage of this program.

00:40.080 --> 00:42.193
Do it for yourself, do it for your family.

00:42.390 --> 00:44.330
I appreciate what each
and every one of you do

00:44.330 --> 00:45.843
for America's Army Reserve.

00:46.120 --> 00:47.693
Now move out and draw fire.

00:47.960 --> 00:49.803
Double Eagle 7, out.
