Hey there! fairly new to the boards.. hubby left for coast guard basic on june 30th! Maybe someone can help... i'm just wondering what to expect for his first paycheck.. i know pay comes on the 1st & 15h..so i'm wondering - will i recieve FULL bah for the month of july on the 15th??? his recruiter told me i "should".. but just wondering what everyone else's experience was.. it makes sense considering it's for the whole month of july - but i know at the beginning there can be delays.. same with his pay.. will i only get half & then the rest in august?? or will i recieve full on the 15th?? any help or insight would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Expect no pay anywhere from 6-8 weeks. BAH he will receive retro from basic start date.

And by the way---is this YOUR account or your husbands??? If it's his--get your own and post under that.

You do not get paid before you work, so his pay for the 16th to the EOM will be issued on August 1st. His pay on August 15th covers from the 1st to the 15th. With BAH it will be split between the 15th & 1st so half on each pay. If he gets paid on the 15th (a miracle) the BAH will only be from June 30th to the 15th.

With him just starting don't expect his first pay until week 6 at the earliest. It will be backdated to the date he started.
