A little bit more about your plans might help. Four and out or whether you plan to make it a career. I was Navy for awhile but I never got into TSP but it compared up fairly well with the ROTH IRA I already had.
As an aside if you happen to be planning on getting out and going to college pay the extra 600 for the GI Bill kicker. Ask your yeoman about the details and he'll be able to set the paperwork up for you. It's very worth it as that extra 600 raises your GI Bill benefits by 300 a month for the entire duration you draw them. You can do it anytime in your enlistment so you have time if you happen to be tight right now. I remember all too well how poor I felt as an E-2.
