My husband is leaving soon for basic and AIT thru ARNG. I was wondering if anyone knows once he leaves how long it usally takes for him to start receiving pay. He has received drill pay for the last few months so I know he is in the pay system. Just wasnt sure if it changes once he enters basic. Thanks for the help.
it could take 6 to 8 weeks-if he is recieving drill pay he is in the Reserve Component pay system. I do not know at this moment-although i will find out and post again-if they have to be moved to the Active Component pay system for Basic and AIT-they did when my husband went but that was so long ago that Moses was his Drill Sergeant. I do know that soldiers who are mobilizing are not moved to the AC paysystem-there AD is paid thru the RC pay system. If this is true you will not see a break in pay-he will be getting paid for his active duty as soon as his orders start.
Thank you for the help. I keep hearing two different things so I wasn't sure how it worked. I just want to be prepared as much as possible when it comes to keeping the bills paid!
