All Midshipmen get the same basic pay. From that, they pay all of their official liabilities; haircuts, dry cleaning, cobbler, ticket costs, etc and are provided an allowance each month that is determined by class structure; 4/c up to 1/c with the 1/c receiving a greater monthly allowance but the pay rate is the same. It doesn’t manner how many years you had prior to I day. Upon graduation, any previous enlisted time then counts. For example, if you did a year at Naps, you are now an Ens over 1 whereas your direct admit Mid is an Ens over 0. If you had four years as an enlistee prior to I-day, you are now an Ens over 4 and so that enlisted service enables to get longevity pay raises earlier than say the “normal” direct admit Midn. It certainly helps a little bit.
