The first reward you may receive for enlisting is a payment called an enlistment bonus.
The Armed Forces offer enlistment incentives, the most common being enlistment or signing bonuses. The amount of these bonuses varies greatly from service to service, based on the needs of the service, your education level, your Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) score, and chosen career specialty. Be aware that they are subject to change monthly without notice.
In addition to enlistment bonuses, you may qualify for student loan repayment, delayed entry bonuses or college funds.
Check with your recruiter for the most updated information on bonuses.
