3. there are probably so many strings attached that
the average enlistee will never actually see a check.

4. Yeah--how's it PAID, though? My guess? Two year enlistment,
it kicks in after basic and advanced training (around four months in) and they give you a grand a month for twenty months. You screw up, get bounced, you just might owe the bonus back.

Wonder if they try to recoup if you get killed? Take it off the top of the SGLI payment???

5. "About your enlistment bonus Corporal...
the government is a little short right now; we had to use that money to fix the Humvee you were driving when you got blowed up."
