Couldn't agree more. Get in now and forget about the stock market for 20 years. If you are one to worry about your retirement every time you see the market down 1% on the day, then stop looking at the market. Set it and forget it.
Also, its important to note that you have to set both your "allocation" and "contributions" to the new fund. Allocation is your current total balance, while contributions are what come out of your paychecks. They are separate in TSP and have to be adjusted individually. If you move your allocation into the L fund but leave your contributions going to G fund, you are going to miss out on a ton of money in the long run. So set them both, and go enjoy life.
