Military service provides a strong financial foundation — but most veterans and transitioning service members need more than a military pension or TSP to fund a full retirement. William A. Garland Jr. understands the unique financial landscape of military retirement, including the Blended Retirement System (BRS), Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) rollovers, VA benefits, and survivor benefit planning.
Whether you are separating from active duty at Fort Jackson, a veteran supplementing your military pension, or a military spouse planning for the future — PAG Advisory Group will build a personalized safe money strategy that complements everything you have already earned.
