Wow, a terrific deal. Wish I had that as a hook to catch recruits when I was a recruiter. You can't beat the benefits so long as you don't have to go to the VA.

I'll second that

And I am going to get $3000 for reenlistment to train the newbies. Guess I'm not needed anymore.

My son was promised a $4000 sign on bonus two years ago when he joined the Army Reserves and hasn't seen a penny of it. Are these bonuses real, or are there too many hoops to jump through? The claim I keep hearing is that the paperwork is still in process. I think it's breach of contract and grounds for a lawsuit, but he wants to be career army and won't raise a fuss. How many will actually see that $20k?
