Trying to find out how much pay will be for my two weeks annual training. All I could find was that I would receive BAS and BAH, no dollar amounts.

Can anyone help?

Pay

E-4 w/ 5 years

I'm guessing my actual pay would be half of 1935.

Yeah, cause an O-5 has nothing better to do than tell me how little I make...

not much, you get a half months pay, so maybe a $1000 after taxes depending your grade and years of service etc etc

Wow, that's the same as the stipend that I get from my college.

I havent looked since I made E-5, plus part of '07 was overseas so hard to figure..

but a full year in reserves as an E-4 in '05 I made $3500 according to my W2, about $2k for the 2 weeks, and $250 a month, or something like that. Depending on the drills, there are typical 5 drillers, 7 drillers, and the "Monster Drills" that count as 9 drills. Then there are the short and sweet 2 and 4 drill weekends, so it all depends on your unit's budget and how many drills they have you guys do.

it is the same as active duty pay for your 2wk training. So you find your pay grade and time in service on the pay chart, then divide by 30 to get an amount you make per day. Then multiply by the amount of days you'll be on orders.

Don't forget to add BAH and BAS.

Did you check DFAS? Or call your Reserve component and ask them, the OR probably.

My wife's an IMA, so her time/pay is always screwy. But then, I haven't paid attention to that stuff since I got out.....
