My son is an Ensign. Just graduated USNA.What year is your cadet? The yearly base pay is 14.2k. Paying back 5k a year for the first two years for advances. Net pay is scheduled to be over 8k for year 1.
He received a net monthly check of 125 plebe year. Gross was about 12/14k? I am too lazy to look at his tax return over the years. Iirc it went up to like 180 second year.
And I believe it went to the 500-800 his last years as Stealth_81 said.
He had no need for money his first year as a plebe - an occasional dinner when he got liberty or coffee. He always seemed to have enough - his mother and I would occasionally Apple Pay him something if he needed it.
I remember him making a comment how he would be receiving more years ago if he applied for scholarships that he would have won - and used it for his uniforms at the beginning. He did not apply because he didn’t want to compete with his friends who were going to expensive schools.
I assume his bar tab went way up when he turned 21.
