Is that graphic from the Navy website? I haven't seen it before, looks cool.
I think there's some caveat to the education, and I generally don't count medical stuff as compensation because it's not cash in my bank account so I conceptualize it differently. Otherwise, that feels pretty accurate, depending on where you're pulling in BAH from. I'm a collegiate right now making E-4 and these calculators are accurate to what I'm making, so I trust that the jump to O-1 will be accurate as well.

A lot of this is dependent on your BAH location. More expensive housing markets are going to give you higher housing allowances but you will most likely be paying more in rent/mortgage. As someone else pointed out, the medical portion is not straight cash in your pocket but the equivalent cost of your healthcare covered by the DoD. Still a great deal but we will be expected to earn every penny of it!
Yea, they just updated the UI.
Ah got it!
I'm worried. I just graduated from college with a 2.774 GPA, and my recruiter wants my final transcript in order to get my official selection letter before I ship out. Is getting the selection letter based off of final GPA, or simply a proof of degree completion? I'm scared that my offer for OCS will be revoked.
Also, my school says that it can take 4-6 weeks for the transcript to reach my recruiter with everything on it, so does this mean my ship-out date will have to be pushed back?

Stop with the crazy assumptions. It's just to confirm you graduated. Need a bachelors degree on hand to go to OCS.
I would recommend discussing with your recruiter asap as well as reach out to the registrar to see what options you have to get that done sooner.

I can't speak on the gpa or selection letter stuff as I only know how my community and rate work, but if it is just about degree completion, my recruiter also recognized that the transcript arriving late can mess with getting orders. He had me request a "Statement of Forthcoming Degree" through my registrar's office, as that processes much faster than the transcript and is enough proof as they need that I'll graduate on schedule.
Will do and thanks for the confirmation.
Are you able to tell me more about this and how I can do the same? I placed an order for my transcript today and am very much hoping it comes before I ship.
