Basic Military Enlistment Bonus Benefits

July 31, 2008 By admin

There are a great number of reasons that a person can choose to join the Armed Forces. Some people choose to join the active duty ranks, while others choose service in the reserves. The Navy gives a number of different types of bonuses to personnel that are looking at joining the military. These bonuses can be available to people that are interested in active duty service, as well as bonuses that are available to people that want to join the Navy Reserves.

Bonuses exist for several reasons. They are there to encourage some people to stay in the military, to reenlist at the end of their service, or sometimes they are there to help encourage people to enlist. Some of the different bonuses require special skills; others are for those that seek a specific rating or job. It does not matter what the reason is that the Navy gives a bonus, if you qualify for a job related bonus, the bonuses are paid in a specific manner, and its good to know how the bonuses are paid before you join up. Many of the bonuses are paid when the Servicemember reaches their first duty station, or if you join the Reserves, the Navy awards you your bonus typically when you finish your initial basic training and active training for duty, often such as Class A School. The bonuses that are paid by the United States Navy tend to fall into three types as a rule, The selective conversion bonus, the prior service bonus, and the Navy Basic Bonus. Selective Conversion Bonus- This is the typical type of bonus that you will receive if you choose to reenlist after serving your first tour of duty or enlistment period. This bonus is paid when the Navy wants you to transfer to another job specialty, you can qualify for if you reach certain qualifications or if you have a specific skill that is needed. The Navy pays you a bonus for re enlisting and converting to a highly sought after job skill they need people in.
Prior Service Bonus- If you have ever served in the military, you can sometimes qualify for a bonus by joining the military at a later date.

Basic Bonus-This is bonus paid by the Navy to enlist in the Reserves or Active duty Navy. It can be very lucrative, up to $20,000 dollars that you will get if you join for six years. For enlisting for six years, it sometimes does not matter the specific job you choose.
