The Army is offering recruits up to $40,000 to buy a house or open a small business at the end of their first enlistment term. Since the new Army Advantage Fund launched in five recruiting markets in February, 2008, 123 enlistees have opted for the benefit. The program is currently available in Albany, N.Y.; Cleveland; Montgomery, Ala.; San Antonio; and Seattle. Soldiers will not receive the money until the end of their enlistment terms. Contact an Army Recruiter for more information.
