ANG Bonus Question: Same AFSC, same date, different states — $50K vs. no bonus
Hey guys, I have a concern and I’m hoping someone can give me some advice.
I enlisted in the Air National Guard last year and when I enlisted, my recruiter told me there was no bonus available for my job. My enlistment paperwork also says “No Bonus.”
I’m currently in tech school, and I recently found out that another Airman who enlisted on the exact same day as me, for the exact same AFSC, received a $50,000 NPS bonus. The only difference is that she enlisted in different state.
I understand that bonuses can vary by state and unit, but I’m trying to figure out whether my position was actually ineligible for the bonus at the time I enlisted, or whether I may have been given incorrect information.
Is there anything I can do at this point to have this reviewed? Or is it too late since my contract already says “No Bonus”?
Any advice from people who have dealt with ANG bonuses/incentives would be appreciated.
