Will my reenlistment bonus amount change if the MILPER msg authorizing it was rescinded (the document stating this is missing in my iperms)?

I was told that my unit it trying to move my school date up so I can make a deployment. Will my bonus amount change because the milper msg my bonus was under was recinded? Will my unit retention officer have me sign a new contract?

Your career counselor that you reenlisted under should still have a copy on file if done within the last two years. You may be able to get the bonus for whenever it was higher amount. Then or now. See your current career counselor for more guidance.

Where is YOUR copy, Corporal? Why didn't you get a copy of this very important document?
What I tell my Soldiers and all others as well: whenever the Army hands you a piece of paper, make 10 copies, scan it, then E-Mail it to yourself, then burn it on a CD/DVD. Put all that away in a water-resistant container. Because you never know when some part of the US Government will want to see that piece of paper you didn't think was "that important."

If it is already in your contract then nothing will change. You already signed a contract so you are good to go.

Do you have your hard copies still on hand? If you do, take it to the Career Counselor that did your re-enlistment and ask them directly.
