Quicken will track your expenses, your savings, and your investment performance. Of course you have to enter all that data to get a full historical record, or you can just begin from a start date of your choice.

Ameriprise probably doesn't want you to see how much they're getting of what you're putting in, and what expenses/taxes are doing to your performance...

I don't remember what branch of the service you're in-- but when you PCS, are you able to take out a few months' advance pay? This is a good way to pay your savings ahead as well as make sure that the money doesn't trickle through your fingers. Of course it could also reduce TSP contributions, so I guess it has to be used with caution.
