How often are the Army paid?

Question

Is it once or twice a month?

Answer 1

First and Fifteenth of the month.
If the First or Fifteenth falls on a holiday or weekend, it is the last workday prior to regular payday.

Answer 2

You can elect to get paid at the first of the month or you can have the military pay you twice a month, which will be on the 1st and the 15th. The pay always gets there a day early, depending on your bank.

Answer 3

Why do you ask? Are you in the Army? Does someone in the Army owe you money? Anyway, back, way back then, I used to get paid twice a month.

Answer 4

twice a month. the 1st and 15th day of the month.

all branches are paid the same, .
they pay rate goes by rank, (example an air force airman basic E-1 is equal to army private E-1.)
E= enlisted
O= officer
the same for the officer's they are paid the same an air force Brigadier Gen. = to Army's Brigadier's General

Answer 5

The military will pay your twice a month unless you tell finance differently. The you would get paid once a month and your mid month would say zero dollars.

Answer 6

The automatic deposit system has changed things to some extent. No longer do you stand in line to be handed a stack of one dollar bills on the first and fifteenth. (38 of them if I remember correctly for an Airman Last Class) In todays army you just go on about your business and assume that the deposit got there on time.

Answer 7

Twice a month, although it may be different days than the 1st and the 15th. Depends on which unit you're with.

Answer 8

the 1st and the 15th. But you can elect to get paid once a month as well.

Answer 9

Twice a month. There are no other options as some have suggested.

Answer 10

Twice a month but not enough. First and fifteenth.
