You can have your auto deposit in any bank you wish, just make sure you have the forms if not a military bank. As far as when you will get paid, it really does depend on WHEN you arrive at boot..if you arrive more towards the end of a pay period, like lets say Nov 8th..it is VERY likely you will NOT get a pay check on the 15th..you will get one at the end of the month..HOWEVER sometimes it takes a few pay periods to catch up to regular amounts. Your first payceck will not be a full check, as they will take out everything you needed that were issued to you when you arrived...ALWAYS have enough on your bank account at home to cover all expenses for at least 2 to 3 months if you can! Like cell phone if you dont turn it off, car payments, credit card payments and the like.
