Ok I went to RSP last month from May 9th to the 11th. I have yet to get paid that was my first RSP. I set up a Direct Deposit with USAA.com. Today I got a letter in the mail with the heading: Defense Finance An Accounting Service Military Leave An Earnings Statement.. or LES what does this mean? What am I to do with the form? Does this mean I get paid I also hear pay is every 15th of the month..?

You will receive an LES before every pay day. This is like a pay stub that shows you the amount of your Base Pay, and your net pay, once deductions are taken out. There should be a Box under your name labeled "Entitlements". This is what your Base Pay (Gross Amount), the next box over is "DEDUCTIONS" (federal taxes, state, social security, etc. The box to the far right "SUMMARY" (explains how much your base pay is, minus any deductions, and Net Amt.
Your primary focus is NET AMT (Net Amount) also located in the box under SUMMARY.

Right now, you will be getting paid once per month most likely. In the top right hand corner of the LES states "Period Covered". Study your whole LES to get to know what is on there, it's important. This website may better assist you. I hope this helps!

actually, you are national guard therefore you don't have to worry yourself with the 15th or th 1st paycheck. payday for you is going to be approximately one to two weeks after your rsp. you don't need to do anything with your les either, it's for your records. I would recommend you keep it in case you have any pay inquiries so you can take it to your admin nco if you have any problems, that or you can set up an account at mypay.dfas.mil and it shows up to the last year's les's....

did you not have a briefing when you first arrived at your unit explaining all this?

Wow Thanx so much for your help that cleared evrything up! Ok so I'll hold onto the LES for record sake ..!

ohh one to two weeks huh.. hmm I did RSP like 23-22 days ago but ohh well no worries! Actually they did not !

Thanx For the help an reply!
