MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, YUMA, Ariz. -- The Marine Corps has canceled first-term re-enlistment bonuses for fiscal year 2009 in 28 more military occupational specialties effective April 20, following the 22 bonuses canceled March 9.
Bonuses are canceled when an MOS meets its minimum retention goal for the year, though the goal may not be 100 percent, leaving some available spaces for Marines to re-enlist.
The newest MOSs no longer offering selective re-enlistment bonuses are: 0481, 0811, 1142, 1161, 1171, 2651, 3381, 3533, 4341, 4421, 4612, 5939, 5954, 5974, 6042, 6048, 6113, 6132, 6312, 6313, 6333, 6412, 6463, 6482, 6483, 7051, 7212 and 7314.
Overall, bonuses have been canceled for 96 MOSs Corpswide.
Marines may still receive re-enlistment bonuses by lateral moving into MOSs where bonuses are still available. As of March 17, 61 MOSs still had bonuses and were open for lateral moves.
