No. Illegal entry can be charged as a misdemeanor (8 usc 1325) but rarely is. Illegal re-entry after a formal removal can be charged as a felony (8 usc 1326) but again that's fairly rare and you more see it used in extreme cases where that wasn't the only crime, or in cases of people who repeatedly get caught doing it.

Administrative grounds of inadmissibility resulting in voluntary returns or final/expedited orders of removal are much more common.

If they were unlawfully present (regardless of entry method, so visa overstays and illegal entry) for more than 6 months or more than a year, and then departed the US, that also triggers administrative grounds of inadmissibility that bar later legal re-entry for certain periods of time, but would not be a felony.

TSP= thrift savings plan. It's a traditional or Roth retirement account that was rolled out for service members a few years back when the retirement system was reformed from the 20yrs or nothing model. They will match your contributions dollar for dollar up to 3% and at .5 per dollar from 3-5% so that's basically free money. It's a no brainer to at least put in the 5% they'll match. G funds are one of the available investment choices within TSP. They are very low risk/low reward, so basically a bad choice for anyone who is not about to retire. They have more aggressive funds you can choose or lifecycle funds which are based on your anticipated retirement age and are a diversified mix of funds that adjust risk/aggressiveness as you get closer to retirement.
