No pay during CTP. It’s a freebie, and you’re not an employee yet.

During Indoc day, you get a few hours of credit, then CBTs start. I think CBTs are worth 17.5 hours of credit. When you show for class, normal money starts. 75 hours/month with 24/7 per diem since you are technically out of base. Expect ~$3000/month of take-home.

Pay days are the 13th (2nd 1/2 guarantee + any extras) and the 27th (1st 1/2 of guarantee). If training day numero uno is after the 15th, expect the 13th of the following month to be your first pay check. Otherwise, expect the 27th. It’ll take a bit to catch up with everything that is owed.

All told, if your finances are paycheck-to-paycheck, expect a rude awakening. If you’ve built a buffer (very highly recommended for this or ANY new job), the money is perhaps better than expected.

Any corrections and/or clarifications are welcome, homies.
