Pay?

My husband left for boot camp on March 8th, and so far he has not received any pay.  Does anyone know if I should be expecting some sort of pay in the next month or do they usually not get paid till after boot camp is all over?  I know the military pays of the first and 15th of every month, but I don't want to get my hopes up if there isn't any money coming.

Just curious, how do you know he has not received his pay?  Do you have access and pin to whatever bank or credit union he joined?  Thre reason I ask is I've seen countless time where the money is going to his savings account, and not the checking account.  So are you sure you're looking at the correct bank and account?

we set up a USAA account jointly before he left.  I check the accounts from online.  They did not issue us checks, but he brought he routing number and stuff with him.  I hope that was enough to get him the direct deposit.

Also, the BAH (housing money) takes a couple pay cycles to kick in, so I'd guess that will come about the fifteenth (or the first of May).  It will be backdated to when he began boot camp.

but I should expect SOME pay this coming week right?  April 1st?

Probably.  (No one wants to say yes for sure because things happen, and you'd be extra ticked off if we said yes and something weird happened)

LOL yeah, I'm not really expecting anyone to give me a definite.

UPDATE:  my husband got paid, I'm not sure when the money went into the account, but I checked it randomly this morning and there is money there!  I am VERY relieved!
