I’m about to ETS out of the NG and hopefully going active. I know prior service depends on the business rules, but when I asked the recruiter about a bonus he said I would find out in meps. The NG is currently offering 20k bonus to re enlist so I’m hoping active duty is offering something.

I’ve NEVER seen a prior service accession receive a bonus. If you’re doing it for the money, the money will never be good enough on active duty.

SSG Roger Ayscue I reentered in 2006 when they were giving $60k bonuses to kids for three years, and all I got was a plane ticket

Best advice is go to MEPS for an inspect (if your medical from the Guard is still good). You may have to take a complete Physical again. Then get to the Guidance counselor to discover your options. From my past experience, prior service were not offered bonuses, however, that was over 10 years ago...so go ahead and head to the Meps...if the Guard is offering 20K to re-up...why not??
