I'm still in the Reserves (i.e. not retired) so I have access to TriCare for myself for $50/month or for myself and wife for ~$190/month. My wife is currently covered by her work (free) so I've been paying the $50/month for my own TriCare.
1. Is is worth staying with TriCare and turning done DALs coverage, or vice versa, or even keeping both?
2. Is there any financial gain turning down DALs coverage?
Thanks in advance.

I'd think Tricare would be MUCH cheaper then any equivalent DAL offers. FYI, most of our plans require a minimum $15 co-pay for Tier 1 medication. I think Tricare charges $3. Plus, the premium for you and spouse for an equivalent plan will be over $190 month.
Hopefully a retired military guy will chime in as I'm just an AF brat.
