AF reenlistment bonus. . •
(AFNS) — When a bonus is added to the list of reasons to stay in t
Air Force, the decision is an easier one to make.
On Oct. 1, the Air Force authorized bonuses for re-enlisting in 214
career fields. Of these, 157 were for Zone-A and -B airmen, those nor-
mally in the first or second term of enlistment. Another 57 were for
Zone-C airmen between 10 and 14 years of service.
If career-force levels are met in a skill, bonuses may be reduced or
discontinued, but, in general, are continued to maintain the improved re-
tention.
Skilled, experienced people are vital to the Air Force's future.
Officials look to the added incentive of the bonus to help ensure that
future.
For more information on bonuses, contact MSgt. Steve Crisler, AFI
Career Advisor at 7723.
