I had a soldier ask me if I knew about an "airborne Bonus" I haven't been able to find out much about it except that you have to be in an airborne unit and you get $3,000. Does any one know if there is a milper message or a memo or an MOS list for elgibility? If you do email me at robert.l.dominguez@us.army.mil or elperonegro@hotmail.com, thanks!
You need to find the Enlistment bonus message on the MILPER messages website which was current when you either enlisted or were recruited for Airborne school from AIT. The last one I processed was under MILPER message 04-330 which is now under the expired messages. It will list all MOS' that can get the 3,000 Airborne bonus. Maybe MILPER message 05-301 could work for your new Soldiers. Also, FYI the TIER 1 education that it list on the EB message means that your AFQT must be atleast 50. Your career counselor should be able to process the bonus or assist your Soldiers further. Hope this helps you out
The SM has to renegotiate his or her contract in AIT to qualify. 05-301 is the correct milper i have handled many of these there is also a MOS qualification but the milper will tell you everything you need to know
