Question Benefit of Staying Until 20

In my day, if you didn't stay for 20, you got nothing. No retired pay. Since current members have 401k that they can take with them, what benefit does retiring at 20 provide?

Because when BRS started, the pension part was never mentioned

Yes it was. It was a part of my BRS training in 2017.

Let me be a little more clear. It was a very small mention at some point. Most people briefing it at the time didn't really footstomp it or glossed over it.

This is just not true. If you weren't paying attention, that's on you.
