So I am hoping someone can clear this up for me.
(Please forgive my ignorance, I only recently learned cadets are paid a stipend of sort.)
So I have heard few conflicting things:
* Cadets are paid a e-2 pay rate
* Cadets are paid 35% of O-1 pay grade
* other varied pay grades
(are any of these true?)
I also read that CGAS cadets get paid as well like USCGA cadets. (is this true?)
I read that whatever the pay is, a portion is debited off and allocated to an individual cadet fund to cover the cost of initial intake items, gear, uniforms etc...(Anyone have a list of the items and total rough cost?)
...and that since there is a larger upfront cost at the beginning, some of these initial intake costs are funded by way of a pay advance (loan), (is this true?)
Are the cadet pay rates the same at each of the service academies?
So please clarify?
