Somewhere in Dahlgren Hall over PPW, I picked up a spreadsheet detailing the costs for a 4/C - Class of 2014, Female expenses. It shows Entitlements (their base pay and someting called Comrats -which is footnoted as an estimate of pay based on typical Thanksgiving, winter and spring leave periods). Then it shows standard deductions, like FICA, then USNA Specific Deductions: ACE Loan repay of no more than $200/month for the year; Alumni dues, some personal deduction. Then it shows the last section of Variable deductions including midstore, uniform, text book ($1100 in Sep and $600 in Jan - non-core books are included in these projections).
The footnotes indicate that there is normally an annual military-wide base anticpated pay increase of 2% in January, Held pay balance will never drop below zero. FICA is lower in 2010 due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, probably will go up in 2011??
I think I got this spreadsheet while talking to the Business Services Division. I don't know why I was chatting with them, probably waiting for my 15 year old to finish riding the Segway around Dahlgren with a very tired Marine following him!!
