IMHO, you may want to consider dollar cost averaging into some of the equity funds by changing how your "new money" going in to the TSP is allocated. That will slowly increase your equity exposure. Depending on your age, your years to retirement, and your risk tolerance, you should consider placing a portion of your assets in equities in order to grow your TSP.
Since you've been in the G Fund for so long, it may scare you to be in equities. Rather than put your money in the market all at once, you may want to consider putting in a pre-determined amount, say, 20-25% from your G Fund if/when the S&P drops down to it's 50 day moving average. So far this year, the market has bounced right back each time it's reached that level. That way you at least have a plan, and are systematically getting your money to work for you over time.
Good luck!
