Hopefully a retired military guy will chime in as I'm just an AF brat.

There's more to the equation than meets the eye. Are you a traditional reservist, AGR or IMA. IMA mandays are being gutted starting this year. In fy12, they are projecting them to be about 1% of what they currently are. I think for tricare, you have to at least be on duty for the month to qualify for the $50 so if you arent on duty, no medical coverage.
I also have access to tricare, but actually do the DAL gold option with tricare as a backup. The HSAs are not at all compatible with tricare.
