Me and my men are finally back from a 1 yr deployment in one piece:D! Actually we are 3 weeks short of 1 yr. However, we're grateful to be home for Xmas to spend with family and friends. I...

Thanks for the advice. Due to my circumstances and not much time on hand, I will IFT from G to either L2040 or L2030 fund next week. I need to do more reading and research on...

Wow! So you're about to go on a 4th tour, your Roth/TSP accounts must look nice with 3 yrs of previous tax-exempt contributions. Thanks for the info on the other thread. Take care.

This is an interesting old thread I pulled up. Over the next year, I may fall into the category of buy and hold contributor due to limited computer use. Maybe I'm ignorant, but not much of a fan of...
Welcome and happy New Year! I'm trying to gain 10 posts as well to get on the tracker.:D
Rod, I got it and totally agree and understand where you are coming from regarding diversifying. Like so many others, I'm trying to buy as many stock shares as possible while the prices are low....
