Keep in mind that female uniform issue is typically a bit more than the males. I believe they took out $400 for initial issue and $800 for the second uniform isse. But depending on your rank you will have a good amount of money. Id say about $1300 or so with deductions. In bootcamp i was e2. So it may be more or less depending on your rank and if you get an allowance if you have dependents.

Just dont spend all of your money and the NEX or recruit heaven.

If someone could confirm this for me, but I believe during basic training I received Family Separation after the first 30 days. That's another $250.

Correct. And you should receive back pay for the first 30 days as well.
