If you read the bonus part of your contract it will tell you exactly how long it will take. For the most part it will come maybe 2 - 4 weeks after your MOS qualified.

Most reenlistment contracts I have seen only indicate when the bonus is authorized for payment.

For an enlistment bonus, the first payment typically is typically authorized when the Soldier becomes DMOSQ.

For a reenlistment bonus, depending on the authority of the contract payment may be allowed either on execution, or the effective date.

Once you are eligible to receive the payment, the general rule of thumb is 4-6 weeks for processing before it hits your bank account.

mcg301, are you Regular Army, Reserve, or Guard?

Depends on when the re-enlistment is. If they re-up at the right time of month Finance can submit everything for the next monthly "cycle", otherwise you wait for the entire cycle to roll around...
