It works like an old-style pension, rather than a 401k. There's no explicit contributing to it. It's just part of the compensation that if you serve >=20 years and retire, you get retirement pay (which is a percentage of your last active-duty pay). Members of the military do have the option to contribute to a Federal Thrift Savings Plan, which is just an Individual Retirement Account but with a higher yearly contribution limit (as with an IRA at a bank, contributions aren't taxed until withdrawal). This is unrelated to military retirement pay though; all federal employees can set up a Thrift Savings Plan.

Many employees contribute to a 401K plan in an effort to save for retirement. However, converting those 401K savings into a Roth IRA can add up to major savings in the long run. Roth IRA's allow you to take your money out tax-free after you reach a certain age so if you believe that your income tax bracket will be higher after retirement, converting now may be the best way for you to save for your retirement years.
