In the process of waivering my Stabilization at Fort Bliss. What happens after it is completed? All that I'm tracking is people who were given a bonus must pay it back as they didnt fulfill the contract. But what's next? Wait on orders elsewhere ? What are the options after waivering it? ( Career counselor is gone for a bit ) .

You will need to talk to a career counselor within your brigade (if yours is unavailable) for specific guidance IAW Milper Message 18-310 quoted below:

e. “OPTION E-2 ONLY” location specific SRB is limited to only those Soldiers who are assigned to
the incentivized location, who are in the reenlistment opportunity window, and reenlist for the current
station stabilization reenlistment option.
f. Soldiers reenlisting for a location specific SRB will be used in an authorized position based on
PMOS, SQI or ASI for the authorized stabilization period. Soldiers who fail to complete the
stabilization period are subject to recoupment of the SRB.
g. Soldiers reenlisting for a location specific SRB will be stabilized for a minimum of 24 months (12
months if reenlisting for a short tour area) unless otherwise directed by U.S. Army Human Resources
Command (HRC). Stabilization will commence on date of reenlistment (CONUS) or Date Eligible to
Return from Overseas (DEROS) (OCONUS) for Soldiers currently serving in a valid position at a
designated location. Stabilization will commence upon arrival at the new duty station for all other
Soldiers.
h. The RETAIN reenlistment confirmation process will send the Assignment Eligibility and Availability
(AEA) code “U” and termination date for those Soldiers reenlisting for current station
stabilization. Career Counselors will enter the number of stabilization months listed in paragraph g
above regardless of the entry authorized on the DA Form 3286. For all other reenlistment options,
installations will submit AEA code "G" to stabilize Soldiers for the required stabilization period stated
in paragraph g above. AEA “G” submissions need to be in accordance with MILPER message 17-
338. Failure to follow the instructions provided in MILPER message 17-338 may result in Soldiers
being placed on AI to leave the incentivized location and may subject the Soldier to recoupment of
the unearned portion of their SRB.
i. Career Counselors will advise Soldiers who are reenlisting to comply with AI or for a training bonus
and receiving a location specific SRB, that if they are diverted or deleted from the designated
location, they may be subject to recoupment and should contact their servicing Career Counselor
immediately. Career Counselors will contact HRC, Retention and Reclassification Branch, for further
guidance.
