Under the old retirement system, no. Under new blended system yes if the service member contributes.

It may be tempting to max out your TSP as soon as you can, but beware you may end up losing money if you do.

Up to a certain percentage as part of the blended retirement plan.

Here are three perks to investing in TSP:
- Matching funds if free money.
- You save for the future.
- It reduces your total tax liability.
