Army Announces More Ways to Earn Bonuses Up to $40,000

Army continues $20K Quick Ship bonus, and implements the High School Senior Bonus.

The Army has announced the continuance of the their $20K Quick Ship bonus, and the implementation of the new High School Senior Bonus.

The Quick Ship bonus is open to Army recruits with no prior military service who enlist for at least two years in the active Army and report for training within 30 days. The Quick Ship enlistment bonus can worth $20,000, $15,000 or $6,000 depending on the chosen military occupational specialty.

Quick Ship bonuses can be combined with other existing cash enlistment bonuses. The maximum combination of cash bonuses for a four-year or more year enlistment is $40,000.

The Army now offers a Deferred Enlistment Bonus to high school seniors who enlist. This program pays $1,000 for each month a high school senior spends in the Future Soldier Training Program. If the Future Soldier enlists for a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) that comes with a bonus, this deferred enlistment bonus may be combined with the MOS bonus amount up $40,000. Eligible high school seniors will receive an additional $1,000 for successful high school graduation. So, if a senior enlists for an MOS with a $20,000 bonus, spends seven months in the Future Soldier Training Program and graduates from high school, his or her total bonus amount could be $28,000.

Cash enlistment bonuses may also be combined with either the Army's Loan Repayment Program or the Army College Fund, but not both. The Army College Fund, which is available to recruits who select high-priority specialties, offers up to $73,836 for higher education when combined with the Montgomery GI Bill. The Student Loan Repayment Program, available to all recruits with qualifying student loans who enlist for at least three years in any military occupational specialty, can repay up to $65,000.

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.
