This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

MissYu2, thank-you for asking these questions. It actually sounds like it might be appropriate to compare the amounts deducted during Boot Camp to see if there are discrepancies between Sailors who should have had the exact same amounts deducted for clothes and issued script. Although the gross might be different based on when during the month they went on active duty, and their enlistment pay grade, it would seem sailors in the same division should have the exact same clothing deductions. Also Sailor for the same PIR should be very close.

Oh, I just noticed that he was charged twice. I would find out about that. My husband was only charged once. I think half came out the first paycheck and then half out of the second paycheck. Not entirely sure about that though...

MissYu, the NAF/XCHNGE DEBT is his uniform allowance. I had the same question about my husband's LES.
The Meal Deduction is the amount they take out for his meals at the galley.
As stated below, the Mid Month Pay is how much he is getting on his paycheck on the 15th and the MGIB is toward the GI Bill.
If you Google "How to read a LES" or something similar to that, you'll find websites with explanations. I had to go to a few of them to get all the codes I was looking for.

Hi NF Mom, What is the NAF/XCHNGE DEBT? The amount is $617.19. It was deducted twice in his pay while he was in BC. It looks like clothes. But doesn't Navy give cloth allowance of ~ $1500?

$100 is the Montgomery GI Bill as opposed to the 9/11 GI bill, it lasts for one year, then it is over.
It is in addition to the 9/11 GI Bill which is earned by service alone. No contributions for the 9/11 GI Bill. It is optional, but my son opted for it as well. His dad thought it was redundant, but my son pointed out that it was only $1,200 for thousands more in education benefits over and above the 911 GI Bill. His dad agreed it was a good choice.

himmiemom, that is truly scary. If they are serious enough about Korea they are going to pay for another 5 weeks of Boot Camp. :(

Pure speculation, but the 159.56 may be the amount that was deducted from his BAS for meals available to him at the chow hall.
