Pay during boot camp (not an amount question)?

I'm leaving for boot camp on April 6th. My question is, will my wife be able to access my paychecks while I'm in boot camp to pay bills? I already have a checking account that I plan to have my pay be directly deposited in.

I'm going into the Air Force if that makes any difference.

Also if I leave April 6th, when would I graduate (providing I don't get washed back)? Exactly how long is zero week?

And finally when would I be getting my first pay check?

I know military isn't about the money, but when you have a family to support, questions like this really matter.
 
Yes you could use your existing account just remember to take your routing and account number. Yes your wife would be able to use the money well as long as she's on your account. Lol. Umm since your getting there prob the 7th an give a few days for the paperwork to get processed I say probaly the first of the following month but don't worry if you do you'll get backpaid. Also I don't know if this is the same for af but navy wise you get "lent" some money in a gift card to use while you're at basic and to pay the remainder of your initial issue stuff that the initial allowance doesn't cover so I would expect a smaller paycheck. Here's also some advice my recruiter gave me plan on not getting paid for a month. Not that's it's gonna happen but you never know how long it'll take to process the paperwork and with so many recruits getting checked in your stuff might get misplaced. Hope i helped
