They should be able to answer your question. Just my opinion though; Basic and AIT is considered to be "active duty." Once you return to "reserve" status, unless I'm wrong, your Tricare ends.Response by SFC Christopher Taggart made Feb 24 at 2018 7:14 PM2018-02-24T19:14:36-05:002018-02-24T19:14:36-05:00MSgt Private RallyPoint Member3388259<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can buy into the reserve tricare. I don’t personally but I know people who do.Response by MSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 24 at 2018 7:22 PM2018-02-24T19:22:41-05:002018-02-24T19:22:41-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member3388331<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The day after your orders.

I had it for may family and it cost a dirt cheap $203 a month. I’m not sure but I think it is much cheaper for a single soldier. Go to the Tricare site and you can either sign up or it will tell you how to do it. It is better and cheaper than ANY insurance you can get through a civilian provider.Response by SGT Beau Thomas made Feb 24 at 2018 9:36 PM2018-02-24T21:36:00-05:002018-02-24T21:36:00-05:002LT Private RallyPoint Member7894009<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You qualify for Tricare reserve select.Response by 2LT Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 23 at 2022 2:22 PM2022-09-23T14:22:24-04:002022-09-23T14:22:24-04:002018-02-24T18:57:34-05:00
