base pay now is ~ 894 dollars for every cadet. 4digs get 430 taken out to pay for all the stuff you get in basic. you also get taxes taken out, life insurance, food, barber, laundry, dry cleaning, tailor shop. so 4 digs see between $120 and $200 most months of the year.
after breaks (thanksgiving, christmas) you may get a larger paycheck because you didnt eat here. money is pretty much always taken care of, and as a 4dig you run pretty low on it. but you have nothing to spend it on, so you can save it or blow it....
like i may've posted somewhere before, my parents say that since i have a job now, they dont have to help me with anything. lol imagine paying a phone bill and saving up for plane tickets or weekends

definitely stresses money management. but no complaints, it's all doable!
lookin forward to my tax refund... $575! woooo
