@samuel53 Also look and plan ahead, E-1 ot E-3 you will go up in rank very quickly. I know by the time I finished boot camp and A school I was already E2, and E-3 the following year. Also there will be a big difference in your pay depending on where you are stationed at. There is a pay called COLA (cost of living). I was stationed in Hawaii and my pay was about 50% higher than someone that lived in Illinois.
What you have planned in great and I wish I did that, but I am saying understand that you pay will change a lot by gaining rank and depending on where you are stationed.
