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.

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.
