I contribute to the FSA.
Anyone with a Tricare plan is NOT eligible for a HSA because Tricare is considered a 'Cadillac plan'. Even if you get your company's healthcare along with Tricare, you aren't eligible for HSA.
Bottom line: No one with Tricare can have a HSA.
Here's one online link that touches on Tricare not being eligible; it will be the same no matter who your employer is.

From the link:
What if I have Tricare benefits: Tricare does not currently offer an HSA qualified high deductible health plan. Therefore, if you are on Tricare you cannot have an HSA. Once Tricare offers and HSA qualified high deductible health plan, and you select it, you can have an HSA.
That should save you some time googling the topic.
