Pay

I know this has been mentioned but I can't seem to find it. In boot camp, I know we are paid, but when does that pay hit our account? Like about what week of boot camp?

You get paid on the 1st and 15th of the month. What week of bootcamp that hits your account depends on when you arrive.
I shipped out on the 27th of November, but I think I didn't get a separate payment for those first few days, I think the first one hit December 15th.

Do not count on x amount of money arriving before x date though. Make sure you've got enough in there to cover and automatic payments you have going for several months. You never know what might happen.

I'm just curious because I'm going to quit work when I have enough car payments saved up and a little YOLO money to spare. So there isn't a hold or anything? I should, if everything is normal, be paid on April 15th or May 1st.

i know that there is a day pretty soon after we arrive at RTC that we can sign up for direct deposit and a bank account. i'm planning on getting signed up with Navy Fed even though i already have an account with Wells Fargo since there's a Navy Fed branch on all Navy bases and if you have Navy Fed you get paid sooner than everybody who doesn't have Navy Fed.

I'm definitely going to switch over to NavyFederal. BOFA sucks.

yeah i'll probably end up moving a bunch of my money over to Navy Fed. wells fargo has terrible interest rates and it will make it easier to access my money if i'm stationed overseas.
