When I came into the Army in Sept. of 07 I had a $20000 quick ship in my contract. When I got to Ft. Lewis in May of 08 I received my first installment of it, $10000. I re-enlisted in Dec. of 08 and received a $16000 lump sum bonus. This past May I was suppose to receive my next installment and when I didn't I sent in a pay inquiry and DFAS came back basically saying that since I re-enlisted that previous bonus is null and void. I wrote back saying I wanted the MILPER message or AR saying that I couldn't get paid the rest of my initial bonus since I re-enlisted. I read the AR and it doesn't say anything to that effect. Can anyone give me some more guidance on this?

I did something pretty close to that but your dates don't seem to match take mine. I came back into the Army under the quick ship 20k program in Aug 2007 I got 10K then in Aug 2008 I got 5K, I reenlisted in Dec 2008 and got 15K.

I checked about this prior to reenlisting and I am still due my SEB 5K next month you got two different bonus.

SRB's do not affect the SEB.

Take your initial contract promising the bonus AND your re-up contract to Finance. You SHOULD get both bonuses.

Your Co can make an appointment for you to talk w/ the finance rep instead of just sending in the pay inquiry.

Or they have open-door once or twice a month for anyone.
