IOW it's still a crap shoot!
A lot of people I know do the allocation you are talking about...They like it and rebalance once a year...Hands off crap shoot....
I don't believe it applies to the military. Also, don't believe the military gets a match or agency automatic - they should on both...
Another strategy that seems to work for folks is to just not worry about their TSP but once a year to rebalance and consistently put in as much as they can stomach and still have a decent quality of life...
