4/5 I've made it over 20 years of service, but I'm not close to retiring yet

  Awesome.  You passed the first retirement Milestone.

You need to fill out the Bridge Option form with the Retirement Agency and turn it in to them! (possible via interoffice mail, but preferred for something this important is hand-delivery - by you!)

That's it.  Keep doing what you do.  Keep investing as you have been.  Be safe.

If you want to choose to save and invest even more, you can do that in a regular brokerage account.  Vanguard is one good option.

As for what to invest in, how much, and when to make changes to that extra investment account, you cannot go wrong by following the The AlphaDogs.   They beat the market over time.
