Hello,
Being my first official post I would like to thank all who take their time to help those currently in or thinking about joining the armed services.
Currently I am preparing to take the PST for the march drafts. But I have a few questions about BAS, BAH, SD, Flight, Hostile Fire and Immient danger pay.
Being that I am going in for AIRR, which is spec war I get E-3 the second I enlist (to my understanding). I was told by my recruiter that my friend and I (we are doing the buddy system; if you have recommendations on how to get the most out of the buddy system post that info to) would be getting E-4 after A school. As an E-4 we will be elligibal for BAH which comes hand in hand with BAS I assume. My question about BAH and BAS is it taxable and how is it added in to our base pay?
Secondly what Special duty pay would I possibly be recieving (sd-1,-2,-3 or -4 and how do they determine it?)?
How does Flight and HF/ID pay work? What will we possibly be getting?
Thanks in advance to all who post serious answers.
