OregonHerc Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Stipend's going up and textbook money is at $700/yr. (Which isn't too much, seeing as how I have four books for every class...and I have 6 classes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Griffin...you mean 700/semester? It was 500/semester when I was in ROTC, so I'm sure it's 700/semester and not per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get $350 a semester...So I'm not sure...Twice that would make me a happy person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pblarson7 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why wouldn't they extend 700 / 5th year cadets' stipend while increasing everyone elses'? (approved SECAF degree, non-scholarship)...still a little bitter about my stipend running out unexpected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davalt10 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 So I heard today from a P.O.C. who said that the stipend is no longer going up. Is there any truth to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandal Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Col. Kunzweiler was at our ARCON this weekend and basically said hurry up and wait. it was all planned to go but the Finance folks are what is holding it all up; we are waiting for thier approval even after Gen. Flowers gave the go ahead. Don't be looking for it till Nov. 15. The good news is that it will be retro active to 1 Oct.

Guest Nav_Guy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Newest word from the Commander's Conference last week is that the money is backed up in Congress and cadets won't see the stipend increase until 1 Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herk Driver Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Newest word from the Commander's Conference last week is that the money is backed up in Congress and cadets won't see the stipend increase until 1 Jan. The problem most likely stems from the fact that Congress has yet to pass a budget. Everyone is on a continuing resolution for funding. You are pretty much unlikely to see anything until after the budget passes. Any date that you get is someone's best guess at this point. Just be glad you are still getting paid.

MojoF16 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I heard from our CC that the wait is actually because of the AF wide wait on Congress to approve our Fiscal Year budget. She said we should be seeing it in Jan and it is planned to be a back payment all the way from 1 Oct. I guess they are going to move the retroactive payment date back to 1 Oct instead of 15 Oct to compensate for the long wait. So POC on scholorship should be getting a cool $500 or so sometime in Dec/Jan. To the bars we go... I wonder if the book $ are based on region cause we haven't seen ours yet...either way, Congress hates us. Det 280 Moto: "Little does the Gov't know they are funding our drinking habits."

Dubs Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 So what if you commission in December? Will we just get a check for $300 out of the blue (no pun intended) one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectre56 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 So what if you commission in December? Will we just get a check for $300 out of the blue (no pun intended) one day? I'll cross my fingers on this one also. Hopefully we won't get the big blue weenie! (not STS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilitaryToFinance Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 just checked my statements and it is backpay for $100 missed from october and $50 for the first half of november.. i guess that book stipend will come in around february. What are you talking about? There is no backpay from books. You were only supposed to get $450 a semester for books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 until this semester.... we should be getting an additonal $450 for books sometime in Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
