Question about pay during boot and beyond

[BigWayne3000]

Hello. I'm a contract PFC going to boot June 5th. After boot, I will be in the reserves so I had some questions about the pay. I realize I'll be in the E2 pay grade so will I be making active pay during boot? How does reserve pay work? Do I reseve half of the active duty pay a month or do I only get paid for the weekend that I drill? Or do I get paid monthly plus the drill pay? Sorry if these are stupid questions but any help is apprecited thank you in advance. Also company Ironman is when someone gets a perfect score of 300 on their final PFT correct? Thanks again

Wayne, to make things simple, Sat and Sun are each considered two days for your pay. So, a regular weekend will get you 4 days pay. When you have to be there Friday night, you will get 5 days of pay. For your 2 week training period, you will be paid for two weeks of active duty pay.

While you are at recruit training, MCT/SOI, and/or MOS school you will be paid in the same way as an active duty Marine.
