Thank you for your question.
You will get paid a salary whilst in basic training. The first month you will get given a cash advance whilst your pay role information is sorted out.
Your salary won’t be what you earn when you qualify out of training. I’m unable to tell you exactly how much you will earn whilst in training unfortunately
