When should I expect my first paycheck, and what should I do if the amount is wrong?

Pay, Benefits, Insurance, And Personal Arrangements

You will not have access to review your pay deposits while you are at BMT. If you have selected a trusted family member or friend to monitor your bank account, use caution when deciding what access to provide. If that person does not see your pay arrive on the typical 1st and 15th of the month, the person may contact your flight chief (TSgt Wells).

If a pay problem is reported: Your flight chief (TSgt Wells) will contact finance and work the issue in the background, with the goal of having the missing or incorrect pay resolved by the time you graduate.

General rule: The most recent BMT information email, orders, amended orders, and instructions provided during out-processing or training control what applies. This FAQ explains the local process in more detail but does not replace newer written guidance.
