You will generally get your first paycheck about a month into boot camp--not like you can easily check or anything (except when you go to the NEX). I think about $1800 is taken out for uniform items (but you also get a slight uniform allowance and will so every year after on the date that you shipped to boot). I was looking at about $1600 before pictures and divisional apparel--plus I got out of boot camp a few days before my next paycheck if you want to include that in that 2 month period.

Did you have any older people in your division? I am 39 and hate to think I'll be the only old guy there.
