Pay during bootcamp

Beau - What rating are you? The reason I ask is if your in a rating that gives you E2 anyways, or if you're going in as an E3, then you don't have to worry doing that Start guide....

Beau.B · 08-08-2011, 02:00 PM

I'm going into the AECF program, though I'm not sure if I'll be ET or FC yet.

And old history here, but Michael got paid as an E-2 due to his years in NJROTC. Still treated like every other E-1 though....

Yeah, I thought if you went in at a higher rate, you got "paid more per pushup." Still treated like an E1 for all other purposes though.

Micheal is the only person I've ever heard of getting paid more DURING boot. Most promotions in rank are dependent upon boot camp graduation, so during boot, you're still an E-1.. It isn't until grad day you're anything higher than that usually. His case is different than most.

While we were chatting last night I did actually ask him again about his situation...he said that everything was correct with what happened when he went in re his pay, etc.

Hey Craig, I'm curious along this same string. I'm going in as an E-3. Do I receive E-3 pay while in Boot?

NO, you dont, everyone while at boot gets paid as an E1, and you wont get your E3 stripes until about a week before you graduate.

Sue, I think they do get back pay in boot camp to the rate they signed up for. I need to look at my kids LES to see what exactly happened. I'm not positive of what they do.

vabchsue · 08-12-2011, 07:35 AM

Sue, you are incorrect about this. I've got his LES in front of me and Dan (who is former Navy) verified what's on it for me once again as to what Michael was getting paid.

Im going in as an e3 and I have studied the start guide, I am not to sure what you guys mean about doing the start guide. Is there a test or something?

Beau.B · 08-12-2011, 09:13 AM

One of the ways to get an advanced paygrade before going to RTC is to get the PQS signed off on the back of the Start Guide, pass your first physical test, and pass the written test they give you in the first couple weeks at RTC.

If you are going in as an E1, doing all that will bump you up to and E2.

If you're already going in as an E3, due to college/vocational credits, referrals, ect, the Start Guide and tests won't be necessary for advancement, but will still make your life easier in boot camp.

At least as far as I understand it.

Ah..ok I gotcha yet.

Thanks.

I just noticed that I had written E-2 and not E-3 as to what Michael was getting paid. I missed that on the earlier post. But he was treated as an E-1 just like everyone else.
