1
00:00:00,239 --> 00:00:02,906
(intense music)

2
00:00:06,490 --> 00:00:07,740
- ROBYN, ROBYN, ROBYN

3
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:09,520
NOAA, NOAA, NOAA, over.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,330
- NOAA, this is Robyn, go ahead.

5
00:00:11,330 --> 00:00:13,460
- ROBYN, we have an emergency, over.

6
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:15,250
- NOAA, what is your emergency?

7
00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:16,170
Over

8
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:17,120
- Yeah, I was wondering about opting into

9
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,933
the Blended Retirement System.

10
00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:23,570
- NOAA, hey, yeah, that's
not really an emergency.

11
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:26,600
You can't opt in until
January first twenty-eighteen.

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,110
And then you have all of twenty-eighteen

13
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:29,300
to make the decision.

14
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:30,460
No rush.

15
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:33,370
You can use your time now
to review your options.

16
00:00:33,370 --> 00:00:35,870
And there's a misconception
floating around out there,

17
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:37,670
that you have to give
up monthly retired pay

18
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:39,310
if you switch to BRS.

19
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:42,530
But the fact is both systems
offer a defined benefit.

20
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:43,363
Over.

21
00:00:43,363 --> 00:00:44,196
- So, what you're telling me is

22
00:00:44,196 --> 00:00:46,665
I can get a defined
benefit under both systems?

23
00:00:46,665 --> 00:00:48,280
- Affirmative, little buddy.

24
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,150
So you have two ports to choose from

25
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:51,880
on your journey to retirement.

26
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,100
Only you can decide which
port is best for you.

27
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:57,010
- Great, ROBYN, thanks for the assistance.

28
00:00:57,010 --> 00:00:57,843
NOAA out.

29
00:00:58,881 --> 00:01:02,569
- Fair winds and following seas, NOAA

30
00:01:02,569 --> 00:01:05,236
(mellow music)
