Retirement. All soldiers after they hit 18 years are required to go to said briefing before they hit their twenty. But after that, it’s optional and you can go as many times as you can talk your unit into letting you go. It’s only 1 day and they cram so much in, you pretty much need to go multiple times to try to get it all.
Biggest new information I got was on survivor benefits which have to bell elected within 90 days of your twenty year letter or you forfeit those for life. Lots of people Saturday were irate on that news. All thanks to some law passed in 2022 by congress. That wasn’t put out to anyone.
