Just to provide a little more insight.
Base pay is around $1000, as has been stated. When you arrive, you incur about $6,000 in loans that will be paid off over two years at $250-300 a month. Combine that with issue items throughout the year, pay is nothing special. 3* year, you have received most issue items and no longer have to pay for laundry service, so pay increases, but is still affected by loan payback. 2* year is the best year for pay, because loan payments are gone and there is only one large clothing issue for mess dress. Firstie year is still pretty good, except for the next few month's we'll have some substantial deductions for officer uniforms. That hurts since this is around the time we are also spending for 100s night, 60 days, etc. I'll take it though. 119 days.
