I enlisted in Feb 16th 2007 finish basic and reported to my duty station on august 5th 2007 and got my first bonus of 10k minus taxes. Now is the next bonus payment due on Feb 16th 2008? Or do I have to wait till feb16th 2009?

thanks

You should be receiving it this month. Check with your local finace office to see if your bonus is in the system.

You will not get your next payment till your yearly AIT Graduation date for your enlistment bonus. Keep on top of it had a problem with mine. They seem to forget you still get money after first lump some. After AIT date if no money resubmit your bonus paperwork to finace and they will square you away. You can also go by finance and they can look in system to if it is set up to pay you on your AIT date.

Yeah I had a similar concern and checked on mine last week. The Recruiters tell you it is paid on the anniversary of your enlistment, but they are incorrect. It is paid based upon the date you become eligible to receive the bonus. You did not become eligible to receive the bonus until you completed the requirements for the bonus (AIT). I came back to active duty from the reserves in April of 2007, re-classed and graduated 7 Jun 07. My finance office said bonus is inputted to be paid 27 JUN 08, even though I got my first payment (10K) in Aug of 07. Check with the office, but you should get it no longer than a week or two past your AIT graduation date. Your bonus eligibility was actually inputted by your gaining finance office upon your arrival.

Good "real experience" information!
