What does an airman make in base pay at the Prep School?
Airmen maintain their prior-enlisted pay while at the Prep School. Once at the Academy, they convert to the cadet pay scale (around $800 per month) of which they will receive $60 per month as a freshmen and $120 per month as a sophomore, gradually increasing to full cadet pay in their senior year. The amounts are after deductions for uniforms, books, a computer, and other miscellaneous fees charged to the cadets account.
