I need help fixing the retirement block on my LES. S1, finance, MyPay, and retirement services are all no help. Can anyone help with this?

Long story short S1 sent me to finance, finance sent me to MyPay, MyPay sent me back to finance, finance sent me to retirement services, retirement services sent me back to finance. Went TDY for almost 5 months and haven't had time to start over since I got back. Anyone have experience with an issue like this?

You did not articulate the issue with your retirement block on your LES.
You need to tell us about the issue (we do not need your personnel finance info).

What is the crux of the matter?

I apologize. I typed out the full story three times, and the website kept reloading. I lost everything I typed each time, and I got frustrated. So I made a shorter version but left out the problem! Anyway, I was in the Reserves, switched to active component, and still had not chosen my retirement plan. When I made the switch, I was forced into BRS because my recruiter reset my DIEMS to July of last year. By the time I finally got that fixed, it was passed 1 JAN 19 which was the cut off to opt in or out, but my retirement block reverted back to Choice on my LES. At the same time, MyPay switched to their new website and the option to choose a retirement plan fell of their page. So I started looking for answers and went through the steps mentioned above.

Based on your comments below you are currently enrolled in the Legacy plan. Choice is the name of the legacy plan. It's called choice because once you hit 15 years you are eligible to choose REDUX or High 3. Of course, REDUX was discontinued a few years ago, so it's choice until you hit 15 years when your LES will say High 3. You would have to personally opt in to the BRS to make it happen
