Active Pay During Training

[ETWilliams0209]

To avoid any confusion I DID NOT join the Corps for money or benefits, period. I could stay in college and start making loads more money as soon as I graduate.

I have a reserve contract (plan to go active ASAP), my question is this:

Do I receive active pay during boot and MOS or just during boot?

I am flat broke (think unemployed college student) so whatever I get I'll be more than happy with, I'm just trying to figure up how much that might be. Also, I will be receiving E2 pay due to my college credit.

Thanks Marines.

Active during boot through school I do believe. And what is it about people thinking wanting money is wrong ?

[ETWilliams0209]

I don't think it's wrong but I have better reasons for joining the Corps.

And thank you sir, that's exactly the info I was looking for sir.

Since when is Active pay different than Reserve pay? Don't they still pay according to rank and time in service?

It's not during active duty for training. You get paid the same.
