Only if you are flying or taking train, don't get any gas reimbursement for driving down
Nope - I drove and I was reimbursed for gas! They also reimburse for tolls.

I was the Midshipmen Financial Advisor for 2 years while on shore duty and can tell you that all Midshipmen get the same gross pay. Then the MFA works out a budget over 4 years that is front loaded for uniforms, laptop, books, etc. Therefore the net ends up gradually increasing over the 4 years. When I was a Plebe back in 1984, it was $60 a month, but it's increased now. There are also times where Mids can charge things against their account, like away football games, Midstore, etc. I actually created a new form of pay, called "Flexpay" when I was there that would debit this against currently monthly income so that all 3/C weren't getting the same pay, or 2/C or 1/C, if they charge against there account. Before my time these charges would affect your final check at graduation. Lastly, those Midshipmen that choose Marine Corps will have money taken out to help cover uniforms at graduation.So I know most things are paid for. Tuition, Room, Board, Clothing, Laptop...so what is not paid for? What about textbooks? How much monthly do parents send them? I was kind of thinking maybe an additional $100 or so to go with the $100 they net from their pay. Is that enough? Too much? Obviously it will need to be more if the books aren't paid for.
It is my understanding that you will still claim your Mid as a dependent the first year. There are many posts on this Forum with conflicting opinions. Search and pick your poison. Claimed mine and never had a problem. Oh, Oh I see an Audit coming up.
Still waiting to hear back if my DS will receive an appointment but after reading all of these threads what should we expect to pay in taxes or is taxed on if he gets in?
