Military contract...WHAT this SENTENCE MEANS??? PLZ READ?

Question

title of document:
Statement of Understanding for Applicants with Dependents

7. We understand that my spuse may not recieve pay or allowances during the time in recuit trining.

what that means, that they wont pay a cent while in training? That they wont pay allowances during training? if I dont work, and my husband goes to the army, it means that I will have to find a job as fast as I can to have money to eat and pay the rent? I'm really confuse...plz can u explain me in DETAILS? thanks.

I'm more confuse...Yes or No? Is any recuiter here? anyone with the experience?

Answer 1

Ive had this happen alot to new soldiers arriving at there first duty station with me.
They were married and their BAH was retroactivley paid to them once they got to their duty station.

I wasnt married when I enlisted so I only heard about it from a handful of new soldiers.
So basically what you will be living off is his basic training pay.

And that person who tried to say his check will go for uniforms..thats a crock.
But he will be paying a few hundred for misc supplies..like running shoes and hygeine products.

They will immediately issue him a card that will be deducted from his first check for $200. Military debit card for his supplies.

Most costly will be calling cards, and his Leave expenses.
Some people go crazy here so be ready to incur those expenses.

Before he ships out, have him volunteer around the recruiting station.
If he does, he can get a promotion to e-2 for taking a simple basic knowledge test, and his recruiter should kick him an enlistment that could promote him to e-3 before he gets in.

If he has enough college he could go in as an E-4

The difference between e-1 and e-2 pay is about 40 bucks after taxes. But the differnce from e-2 to e-3 is about $175 I think.

So have him work to get his e-3 before he gets in.
Every penny will help.

And it might not be a bad thing getting a part time job.
youre going to need somethign to take your mind off being without him.

good luck

I'm a Human Resource SGT i deal with contracts all the time. the army has to pay your husband as long as he is in training. so you shouldn't worry about that. it only means he will not get the full amount that he would if he was out of training. the reason for this is Lord forbid something happens to him where he can't complete the training. the allowances is BAH, which is Basic Allowance for Housing, which also goes by rank and where u live. he may or may not get this. i had a child while i was in and i wasn't getting this while i was in basic i had to go to the finance office and set up the paperwork. his recuriter may or may not have done this for him. he would have to submit a DA form 5960, and his marriage lic in order to recive this. i dont know if u have recieved an army email yet if u have you can go on there and get a lot of ur questions answered by ARMY folk. and if u have any questions about his contract go talk to the recuiter who wrote it up. they should be about helping the soldier and their family. hope this helps.

Answer 3

It does take some time for the payroll to catch up to the new recruits. We went three weeks (in 1983) before we got any pay. It is actually easier and quicker now with it computerized.

While in training status, the member will get a paycheck. After arriving at the first permenant station he will have to have a bank account to have the money sent via EFT. That is an Electronic Funds Transfer directly from the US Treasury into your bank account.

His pay may be different than expected. A person enlisting for a specific job or for a longer period of service may be promised E-3 pay. That higher pay does not start until after training. The lower E-1 pay will be paid during training.

He will get dependant pay during training, this may take a little longer to get started than his regular pay. This will "catch-up" later in training.

The system does work. Good Luck to you and your family.
The Air Force took care of me and my family for 20 years.

It's a disclaimer. The military pay system while now being computerized, still takes time to allow for updates. Things are not instantaneous. They are telling you that a pay record has to be created, data collected and input into the system, routed to DFAS in Cleveland , etc. etc., etc.. So many show up and expect payment before they even begin work. This is just the government's way of telling you to be realistic about your expectation. Welcome to the military!

Here are a couple of addresses that will probably copme in handy sometime down the road:

Answer 5

You will get paid... but there is a chance you might not. If for instance there is a fraudulent enlistment. The pay will normally come but it will be a bit late and some expenses will be taken out. All pay is retroactive so if it takes time to get the first check it will usually be rather large.

Answer 6

this is only for the marines ... i googled the statement and here is what i found.
The purpose of the Statement of Understanding for applicants with Dependents is to explain the LIMITS on entitlements of transportation and shipment of household effect at government expense. It also explains the limits on family housing and the likelihood of overseas and unaccompanied assignment.

the army doesnt have anything like this which is why i had to look it up. it still sounds kinda fishy to me so i would be sure you completely understand this document before actually signing it. talk to the recruiter and maybe even call another one somewhere else on the basis of anonimity and verify.

Answer 7

It can take a while for pay to catch up to an individual while they are in training...once the pay record is established, there's no problem. He might get paid while but if he does, it may or may not be the whole pay that he is owed.

Answer 8

Your husband will get paid, however you must bear in mind that he will also be responsible for expenses while in basic training: stuff like uniforms, routine haircuts, toiletries, etc. So be very aware of that when his paycheck comes in. Essentially, pay modifiers like ComRats and BAS or VHA will not be afforded to him, though he may receive separation pay.
----------------
Yes he will get paid. Just bear in mind he will have to be paying for other things as well, while he is there. So the paycheck will be going quickly. I would seriously consider looking into part-time work until he is finished.

Answer 9

In the Army you get paid BAS and BAH while you're in training. I don't think you get separation pay, though, since you volunteered to be separated.

You need to list the branch so that someone affiliated with that branch can attempt to answer your question.

You can also ask your husband's recruiter, or a lawyer.

Answer 10

Original could mean the paper the work was done on. Copy could mean the student used a copy machine to make a copy of the original paper. So original paper is what needs to be turned in.
