You probably will not get a bonus. Hope for the best expect the worst.
I appreciate what you are doing and thank you for your continued service to our country.

I suggest going to speak with your Career Counselor to find out what all your options are to include any bonus’ you may get.
I just signed to go Active duty from the Guard and My Recruiter told me if I do a quick ship to AIT ( Changed my MOS) I would get 20,000.00 but My husband who is Active found that wasn’t true( MILPER) for Prior Service…That was in Sep , I suggest starting there if that doesn’t work contact a Recruiter online.. Good Luck SPC.

No matter what the bonus is; it’s not worth your life. Don’t do it. Go home as soon as you can. So many times; it’s just one more and I’ll go home. That one more time is the one that will do you in. Don’t do it.
I appreciate everyone who is fighting for the U.S. and has fought for us. A lot of times it’s some little stupid thing that gets them killed. Like relaxing a little and taking off their helmet outdoors; that’s when it happens; when their guard is down. Y’all lives are not worth loosing for a few minutes of "off your guard" time. Enough is enough.
Please tell the other guys what I said. You probably will think I’m crazy; but I saw that happen on "Band of Brothers".
Tell everyone when you think you are safe; you might not be. Be careful 24/7. I know it has got to be hard to do.
God Bless every one of you. Just come home safe.
