I accepted my appointment and I think I've seen a post about this before but couldn't find it. I want to travel out of the country to Jordan this summer between the end of school and the beginning of BCT -- Do I have to do anything special or can I just go?

Is there a practice exam or somewhere we can get a feel for what is on the Foreign Language Placement test? (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, etc?)

Does anyone know if you can validate Foreign Language credits with the CLEP test?

If I test out of a class, lets say foreign language, will it lighten my load for doolie year?

How much money goes into your pocket? I understand the base pay and such but after all the needed stuff how much do you actually make? Thanks!

Hmm this makes me wonder, what does the normal 4dig get paid? I've seen a table before but can't seem to find it. Thanks!

Thank you, both... I am very grateful for this forum! I accepted my appointment today feeling very confident in the information gathered.

I got a call from my Congressional Rep and then like a week or so later they updated the portal

Oh, my apologies for the wrong term. hmm, interesting, Thank you though! I appreciate all of the insight everyone!!

Thanks for all the responses, but does anyone know about the ACE Loan? Is it possible to pay it down beforehand so that the paycheck is greater?

Thanks for the help! Is there a way to automatically contribute a portion of the paycheck albeit small to an IRA to avoid the temptation of spending it? Also, I was wondering if there is a way to pay a part of the ACE Loan beforehand so that your paycheck can be larger.

I was recently appointed Class of 2022 and was wondering if you can start putting money into the 401k or TSP as a cadet or does that not begin until after commissioning. Thanks for any help!

Same I got a call about a week ago, and my bear's den just updated a couple nights ago!!

Sorry I realize my question is unclear, what I meant to ask was: Does money start going into TSP as you enter the academies? or after graduation?

Thanks for the guidance!! I was told that I passed, so good stuff! I also passed at West Point where I did not max out anything and only got 4 pull ups, my run was a 5:56 and push ups and sit ups were pretty high.

Do the Pensions begin while at SA?

I am concerned about the minimums... I have heard that it is mandatory to get 6 or more pull ups. I only got 5 but did well in other areas. I maxed out Push-ups and Sit-ups and got a 5:30 mile. Any information would be great, thanks!
