	HIV/AIDS and uniformed services (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The focus on uniformed services was prompted not only by the special nature of the profession which exposes defence and civil defence personnel to risky behaviour leading to higher incidences of sexual infections, but also by their prominent role as guarantors of security, without which, society is threatened.
		This is particularly the case among youths in the uniformed services who have to contend with loneliness and other challenges away from families and familiar cultural norms.
		It is clear therefore, that whether as belligerents, peacekeepers or police officers, uniformed services are at the centre of the AIDS epidemic, especially young recruits.

	TSP Uniserv Features ch#1, The Thrift Savings Plan 2004-02-20
		This means that the benefit you receive from the uniformed services retirement system (i.e., your retired pay) is based on your years of service and the rank you hold at the time of your retirement, rather than on the amount of your contributions and earnings, as is the case with the TSP.
		As long as you are a member of the uniformed services, your service must also provide the record keeper with the personal information that is necessary to maintain your account — for example, your date of birth and your address.
		In-service withdrawals are restricted by law, and funds withdrawn are taxable and may be subject to early withdrawal penalties.
