they're not offering bonuses to anybody who joins and they're not letting you pick the job you want.those days are Over.the current economy has created a situation where less people are leaving the military than planed. As such the military branches have very limited openings, and what they do have are openings in the mission critical areas. The Army has a huge need for troops on the ground, and it reflects in the need for infantry based MOS shortages. Seriously and we have umpteen-millions of kids wanting in. Infantry is the largest single career field in the Army so it will have the most openings on a given day
you may be lucky to get a bonus if you are willing to take the crucial job.The services only fill the positions they need. If you want to serve it is at their discretion - not yours.

Before undertaking a talk with a recruiter, do your homework. There are many assets in which you'll learn approximately all the advantages, responsibilities, and the little great-print surprises that include enlisting within the navy. The Army has been falling in need of its recruiting objectives, so yeah, they are going to present cash. Every department has a few type of deal to draw recruits. I signed a six-yr agreement with the Air Force, however I did not get an enlistment bonus. For my profession area, they frequently supplied $8K for a six-yr signal-up, however that was once suspended on the time I joined. I did not get entirely shafted, regardless that. I was once promoted to E-three proper after my tech tuition which was once handiest six weeks lengthy. The causes for men and women enlisting within the navy would possibly differ, however their responsibilities will all be the identical. If men and women are inclined to position up with lengthy deployments and make a few bonus coins, I do not see why they would not enlist and take the bonus. It all is determined by the man or woman, what they plan to do, and what they are ready of.

Depends on what job you pick. Some jobs are offering bonuses but most jobs aren't.
