bonus back for fy 2009 adn USAR

My recruiter just called and told me that all of us comissioned after 10/1/08 will get the same bonus as those that got comissioned before that time. for ADN's in USAR it is 15K 5K shortly after you comission, 5K a year later, and another 5K after that.

HOOAH

my recruiter called me just before I posted, it was after hrs when he called apparently it just went through, I would call my recruiter and have him look into it . recruiter told me my file just needs to be signed by the secretary of defense and the I can get comissioned. my friend at work to sort of recruited me who is a 2LT will comission me where I work, will prob be comissioned at the VA (I am a VA nurse)
