Default While at the academy?

Do people who are OTS get paid while going through the training in OKC? I read somewhere you don't get paid till the end. That sounds a bit off? Also I got my firm offer today! I am OTS but I can't go 13 weeks with no pay check.

#2 What are some suggestions for you guys who are out at the academy now? I am to report on May 12th. Where should I stay? Do they have high speed internet at the apartments? I'm stoked! I have a 100 other questions too!! ahhhhh I don't know where to start!

1. False, you get paid like everyone else.

2. I'm at Walnut Gardens, it's fine. You actually get here the day I leave. Make reservations now, no matter where you stay. Internet is available in pretty much every apartment on the FAA's list. Consider driving if you can, having a car here is nice.

Is internet an extra charge? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what type of rent do you pay per month after basic utilities. Trying to plan my projected expenses.

A one bedroom at Walnut is $38/day. It includes everything. No 'extra' costs for anything.
