Everybody has touched on the E-3 subject, but no one has given you the rundown on how you will be getting. If your contract says E3 after boot camp, then you will be receiving $1346 a month as an E1. E3 pay is $1587 a month. After taxes, I would say you will receive somewhere in the ballpark of $1150 a month as an E3, or $575 a payday...

If you're getting E-3 solely on the fact that you signed for a six-year contract, you won't be receiving E-3 until either:
-Completion of Tech School
-Twenty Weeks into Tech School
(Whichever comes first)
If you're coming in as an E-3 due to ROTC or college, you should be getting paid E-3 pay during basic.

on the first day of BMT the military will pay you as an E-3.

The VERY FIRST question is did your "contract" say you were an E-3 upon joining or does it say you are an E-3 unpon completion of basic training? Read your contract and understand it before signing.

You should get E-3 pay right away.

you will be paid as an E3 from day one although you will not be allowed to wear the rank until AFTER your graduate basic training.
