You don't have the technical knowledge to go for Intel either. Apply for it if it sounds like something you want to do, the Navy will teach you what you need to know.Thanks fusu - I'm not sure I have the technical knowledge to go for IW, but I'll look into it. Apparently there's an Intel O-5 in NYC - I'll work through my recruiter to see what I can do there.
I have a question: You get full pay (base, BAH, BAS) as an E-3 in BDCP right? I was just selected for BDCP but my recruiter keeps rattling off the number "1300" however base pay for an E-3 is about 1500 plus with BAS and BAH for my area it's approx. 2500-2600~ (per month). Are his numbers just out-dated or am I missing something critical?
<br />Wow, Bah as 2400 is a lot, my brother is in Vegas at Nellis AFB and his is only 900 something. My Bah is 881 and I live in the Minneapolis area. You get Bah based on your permanent address. If you don't mind me asking, what area do you live in?<br />
My checks, after taxes come out from the base pay are about $1200 and I get those twice a month so 2400 bucks a month. If your Bah really is $2400 your checks will be double mine. Oh yeah, and you get about 280 bucks a month for Bas. Not a bad deal!
