Rejoining in 2006 Can Mean Big Bucks!

Huge Bonuses for 2006

With the signing of the 2006 National Defense Authorization Act, prior-service and active duty military servicemembers may be eligible for the following new or increased bonuses:

• A $20,000 bonus for prior-service members who affiliate with the reserve.
• A $10,000 bonus for those who join the reserve officer corps.
• A $2,500 bonus for those who agree to transfer from one service to another.
• An increase to $90,000 in the maximum Selective Re-enlistment Bonus for servicemembers (active duty and reserve) with critical skills.
• A $1,000 finders fee for soldiers who refer a person who enlists and completes training in the Army, Army Reserve or National Guard.
• A $5,000 signing bonus for ROTC Nursing Students.

The 2006 NDAA authorizes these increases, however it is still up to the specific services to determine how and when to implement them. Military.com will continue to update this information and implementation plans as they become available.

ASVAB

To join the military, one of the first challenges you will have is to show that you have some basic knowledge and skills by scoring well on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). The ASVAB is made up of several verbal, math, and technical tests. Your combined score will be one of the determining factors of what jobs will be available to you. However, while the military can get you into peak physical performance, YOU need to train your mind by using the tools provided in our ASVAB section.
