How long after you get to your duty station do you receive your enlistment bonus? The next day, a week, a month.

There's not exact science (and if there is Finance speak up! ), but normally within 30 days.

When I came in 2 years ago your enlistment bonus is not automatic. IT might be now, but if it is not you have to take your 4-1,4-2,4-3, your enlistement statement which is 6 to 7 pages and a copy of your AIT certificate. You take these to your Finace and they will fax them to DFAS to get your bonus usually takes 2 weeks to get after it has been faxed. Make plenty of copies of these items becasue if there is issues with your bonus this is where the info comes from. All this info is in your Enlistment contract from MEPS.
