I retired back in 2014 but many of my Squadron mates are reaching age sixty or hitting the age sixty rollback and applying for their retirement and running into long delays getting their retirement pay (mine took six months). Apparently when the ARPC implemented a new FSS system back in January there was a massive data loss with over 60k people affected. Many veterans who were already long retired and collecting a check had to resubmit their retirement packages. As a result there is a huge backlog for ARPC to close out retirement applications. As you know once you turn in your CAC card you are effectively cut off from all your digital data and are at the whim of whatever data remains in the various support commands so needless to say it’s important to back up as much data as you can prior to retirement. If you retire after twenty years and will not collect until age sixty that means archiving that data so it will be preserved through multiple iterations of computer, software, and OS updates!
