Pay during bootcamp

Beau.B · 07-28-2011, 03:57 PM

Hey everyone,

I know that the question of pay has been covered in other areas, but I haven't found an answer to my specific question anywhere.

Right now I'm in DEP, and I have been told that if I get everything signed off in my START guide, and then when I get to boot camp, if I pass my initial PFA and the written test that they give you, that I will be promoted to an E-2.

My question is, if I get promoted to E-2 in boot camp, do I start receiving the pay rate as an E-2 right away? Or does everyone get paid E-1, "with less than 4 months of service", pay until after boot camp, or after 4 months?

Thanks!

-Beau

Oh, one more question, do they deduct your initial expenses out of just your salary? Or do they deduct it from your allowances (BAH, ect) as well?
