They should set you up with a MyPay account at OCS, and on that website you can set up TSP allocations from your paychecks. I started contributing to my Roth TSP while at OCS with $500 /mo., I'll probably bump it up once the career starter loan is payed off (also used that to top off my Roth IRA). Regular allocations from your paychecks are probably the best way to get started early; since it's taken out of your paycheck before you get it, you don't really miss it. And make sure to bump it up each time you get promoted.
Sounds good. Yeah I guess it wouldn't be wise to put too much into it right away since I might have random expenses along the way.
