You get per diem while in training and your salary, which equates to 33k/year. The per diem is about $50/day. Probation ends on your date of hire plus 1 year date. Mil leave must not exceed 1/2 of your work days or you lose benefits and that month does not count towards probation. However, your pay will be inceased on your anniversary date regardless of how much mil leave you take.
