You'll get a class over TSP too. It was a live lecture for us by an RDC, not a CBT (computer-based training). You can then opt in or out of the TSP with the papers that they hand out and you can add your % amount you want to put in from your total earnings. What I also did, after I graduated boot camp, was that on my next command, I scheduled an appointment with a financial advisor at the Fleet and Family Support Center. The financial advisor helped me out a lot with the TSP. You'll have to get your PIN/Acct info too via snail mail. But yea, I was taught the basics of it and how to start investing in stocks... great resource information they have. Just be willing to learn and seek out.
Remember, the navy is what you make of it.
