Do you get paid 2x a month during basic in the coast guard or do u get one lump sum at graduation

Question

coast guard pay during basic

Answer 1

All Military gets paid on the 1st and the 15th.  Your money will be direct deposited into your bank account.  You may have to pay for your uniforms in the CG, but I'm not too sure as I'm in the Navy.  If you have to pay for your uniforms, then that will be deducted from your first check, and the rest will be deposited.  If it is bills that you are worried about, you will be given an opportunity to pay them via mail while you are in boot camp.  Make sure that you take all your bill info with you to boot camp.  If you have a cell phone, call your carrier.  Most will suspend your account and only charge you $10-15 a month instead of your bill.  Auto insurance works the same way.  If you have some high interest loans/bills, your recruiter can assist you in getting the rates reduced in many cases.  Good Luck!

Answer 2

You will get paid twice monthly.  On the 1st and 15th of the month you can count on money being in your account!
