Even if you do retire from the reserves, you still get the TRICARE starting at age 60 (if they still have TRICARE in 30 years). I'm sure by then your SWA Profit Sharing and 401K and years of well invested Captains pay will more than make up for the income your not getting because you took the VSP.
Nevermind if you just invested the TSP now and drew on it at retirement.
