Pay earned in recruit training.

I was wondering how much money does a contract PFC. leave recruit training with? I plan on surprising my dad with a car for his birthday after i graduate.

Not enough to get a good car.

I'd say somewhere around $5000 minus what you have to pay for all your uniform items.

While it's nice you want to do that for your dad, you'll still need to make travel plans to get yourself to MCT/SOI after boot camp, which you pay for.
So......spend your money "wisely"!!!

You will not get rich in the Military. You will be able to afford a good libo now and then.
