Question

Do you get paid during basic training in the army?

Answer 1

yes.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yes.  It sometimes takes a bit for the pay to kick in so make sure you have money set aside to pay bills etc.

Answer 4

Of course you do.  It's not some sort of sweat shop or something.  If you're thinking about joining, though, try to enlist as an E-2 or E-3.  You'll make quite a bit more money while in Basic and AIT and you usually get promoted not too long after graduating AIT..

Answer 5

Yes, but you have bloody little to spend it on. Do keep a small amount for things like boot polish and those rare, lovely trips to the PX. The best plan is to have the bulk deposited in your bank account or sent to a trusted relative until you finish your training.

Answer 6

you will get paid.  most services setup direct deposit.  

in army boot camp i doubt you will have much free time to be blowing it, but it should be in your account

Answer 7

Yeah
