Very curious myself... My wife is very serious about signing up but with the current real estate market, our home will be hard to sell... A nice accession bonus will really help us out during this current economic pickle we find ourselves in. Anyone with 2009 info???

hi...i am looking for info on the possible new bonus that may be part of the new defense bill.. it was on the air force times website and is part of the new bill but does not give any $$ amount. anyone see anything about it anywhere? bonus increases several bonus increases are proposed. under the house bill, some medical professionals, including psychologists, mental health practitioners and registered nurses, could receive a $100,000 bonus for one year of active service-a temporary bonus that would expire sept. 30, 2010. the senate has a different bonus, just for psychologists, that would pay up to $25,000 a year for a four-year commitment, plus a $400,000 accession bonus. both bills propose several other increases, including doubling the accession bonus for nurses to $20,000 and boosting monthly incentive pay by $250, to a total of $1,250. also, nuclear officer incentive pay would be authorized for service agreements of longer than three years. to encourage training in a foreign language or culture, the bills would authorize a $12,000 annual bonus for officer candidates who become proficient in a foreign language and would create a test program to provide a skill bonus for reservists who receive language training. the increases would take effect when the bill is signed into law, but the services have wide discretion in deciding when or whether to offer the higher amounts. prediction: details remain in flux, but bonus increases, especially to get and keep badly needed psychologists, are a sure thing.
