Bonus

The Air Force will issue bonuses to 72 specialties in undermanned careers such as maintenance, cyber, space and nuclear.

The Army began offering sizable bonuses for 11X, the infantry military occupational specialty, in May 2019.

While only a few can benefit this fiscal year, about 45% of soldiers eligible to reenlist in fiscal 2020 can take advantage.

The Marine Corps is opening its aviation bonus program to some of its more experienced pilots.

Marine officials are reminding squad leaders that there are big bucks for those willing to re-enlist.

Air mobility and spec ops pilots will see a big increase if they choose to take advantage of this year's bonus program.

Prospective Marines who sign extended service contracts or agree to work in critical fields can take home bonuses up to $8K.

The bonus nearly doubles next year for some pilots. Retention is the reason.

The Marine Corps will offer pilots up to $210K to stay on for another six years as the military fights to keep its aviators.

Marine Corps officials released fiscal 2019 Selective Retention Bonus Program details, which include new re-up "kickers."
