Dart,
He shouldn't be shocked if he gets a couple of paychecks deposited every few days into his account at first. At least for our DS (AFROTC) it was every couple of days starting about 30 days in. It is just them playing catch up. I.E the 1st check maybe smaller because it is for the days he was actually contracted, not the whole pay period, than the book money shows up separately, than they should be on track for the regular 1st and 15th pay periods.
Just giving you that as FYI because I remember when he got his first deposits they just appeared in his account, but the amount wasn't what he thought it would be and had an OMG moment, until he realized he contracted on the 7th, thus the unit missed the cut off date for the 15th pay period, and additionally he was only contracted for 1/2 of that pay period. His father and I always purchased his books, so he just handed in the receipt, and it took him a few seconds to figure out why he was getting this odd number deposited...oh yea, book allowance!
