I know you only get paid for days you worked as I mentioned already. You obviously don't see where I said I would have around 20k saved up when I get back from basic + AIT training. Not to mention I got a job that has a 45 week AIT.

Thanks for the advice. I did see when doing research to get a debit card that is cheap to use oversees so I guess that's along the same lines.
