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.

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.

Occam, (Im a girl not a guy, no worries as Im sure most are guys in here) anyhow, I didn't mean to sound discouraging, I think you should apply!! I just wanted to let you know that it is really really hard to get into so that you aren't discouraged if you don't make it. Good luck to you though, you will never know if you don't apply!!

Apologies SWCS242 - not a good assumption, especially for intel work. I fully intend to apply, and I'm pretty confident about my chances, but getting alternate opinions can't hurt. Good luck to you as well - I hope you're applying again.

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?

Whatever the pay scale says and whatever the BAS and BAH is in your area is what you get. He was probably giving a rough number.

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?
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!

No no, sorry for the confusion. My BAH is approx. 700. I'm saying with base pay, BAS, and BAH for my area *total* it's approx. 2500-2600 (per more, not per pay period) before taxes. I was just wondering how much I could expect to be taken out in taxes per month?

Oh okay, I was gonna say...whoa I wanna move there!! Since your Bah is only about 180 dollars less than mine, I would guess you would make about 2200 a month since I make about 2380.
