Failures in attention to detail and showing a good first impression are immediate laser designators for trouble. Often they are "telling" as to what your future holds with regard to being successful in Special Operations.
So-
Utilize the "Shift" key on your keyboard. Utilization of punctuation, i.e. COMMAs, is also appropriate here.
To your questions...
Your pay will begin when you sign in to Basic Combat Training. Since you are married, you will get "extra". Your family's health care benefits will begin about 30 days after their enrollment into DEERS for everything other than Emergency Care.
Google: "Basic Pay Tables, Armed Forces, 2012" and you will see what money you will be making; dependent on what rank you enter the service. You can then begin your planning / budgeting in order to give yourself the increased chance of not having to worry about your spouse and the household money during your time in initial training.
Good luck-

I apologies. I am watching my 1 year old son today, so anything i do has to be quick. Typing isn't a strong point for me to begin with. As far as professionalism, i have neither a Facebook or twitter, and found that comment a little condescending. I didn't mean you, or any other member, any disrespect by my lack of correct punctuation. However, I thank you for pointing it out. I'll take a little more time when typing.
Thank you for the information, it is greatly appreciated. I have looked at the pay tables, but thought it beneficial to ask the soldiers directly, as I trust the input of the soldiers in this MOS more than web pages or my own internet search capabilities. When my son goes to bed, I'll take a little more time to search around. Thanks again.
