I understand the "need" for reenlistment bonuses to keep in good Soldiers in key MOSs. With the shrinking force should we cut bonuses all together or at least make them smaller? Should it only be for AC as they are cutting back but the Army Reserves is maintaining its authorized strength?

IF one does the math, most soldiers on the reserve side are not likely to re-up because of the bonus. It ends up generally being less than $1000/year. This can often be more then compensated for by civilian employment.

Having said that, I am looking forward to my last 25% of my $7500 this November.

Not to components, but individual specialities based on long term trends analysis.

FOr certain MOSs there are limited numbers of people qualified, and therefore should be rewarded for a rare / unique skill-set
