Pilot Pay while in UPT
Recently i received a pilot slot with a local ANG unit to fly the C-130. I have been having some difficulty locating an accurate amount of pay that I can expect on a monthly basis as a 2nd Lt. during UPT.
Does anyone have an estimate on what kind of take home pay i can expect?
Thanks for the help.

I would have thought a future USAF/ANG pilot could have googled this himself though.

take home pay is variable based on what base you end up at, and whether you are on or off base, because of BAH and whatnot. Also, if you are married, you get a little bit more. But you'll be getting O-1 pay, and you get flight pay (which isn't much for the first few years). All of this information can be found on the internet.

The good news, flight pay starts day one of academics, the bad news, the first 6 years isn't much money. I'd assume you'd have to live in the dorms if single or in family housing if married. That's how it was at Sheppard about a year ago anyway.

It's easy to look up, but not so easy to interpret...
Look at the tables, you will get....
Base Pay (O1 under 1 years)
Basic Subsistence Allowance
Aviation Career Incentive Pay
Plus housing, which is complicated:
On base: No allowance
Off base: Look up the housing allowance (BAH) for the zip code (with or without dependents as appropriate). This could vary between $2500+ to well under $1000, but most flight training bases are in lower-cost areas.
Per Diem: If you are sent to a location temporarily (less than six months) and have to live out in town, in addition to a hotel allowance, you will get $60-150 each day in per diem...this can add up quick. Training pipelines are usually setup to avoid too much of this, someone else will know about AF UPT.

You'll take home about $2600 a month, assuming you live in the dorms. If you live off base or in other housing, you'll be able to keep some of your tax-free BAH.
Keep in mind this is cash in your pocket. No housing expenses, no medical expenses.
