Army National Guard Temporarily Suspends Reenlistment Bonuses Due to Lack of Funding

Army Guardsmen looking to reenlist soon might want to consider holding out for a few more drill weekends, as the service component's reenlistment incentives have been put on hold, according to an internal memo to the force reviewed by Military.com.

"Effective immediately, the issuance of reenlistment bonuses is suspended," the March 1 memo said. The suspension is for bonuses that would have a payout between now and the end of 2025, effectively including anyone who would reenlist now, though existing contracts are not impacted, according to the document.

The sudden suspension is due to a miscalculation by Army National Guard planners who forecast the amount of funds needed and the anticipated volume of troops planning to continue their service, a spokesperson said. Guard officials are aiming to have bonuses back on track in April, meaning service members who reenlist now won't be entitled to incentives, but could be in a few weeks if they wait.

"This requires a pause to assess fiscal resources that will determine when we can resume offering new bonuses with the issuance of new reenlistment contracts," Paul Swiergosz, a National Guard Bureau spokesperson, told Military.com in a statement.

I believe this is because they took Military assets and gave them to Ukraine...along with big bucks.

I would hope no one accidentally re enlists during this dry spell, thinking they will get the bonus that they won’t.
In such a case, would the military let them out of their contract or make an exception and give them the bonuses anyway, because it was mistake and the message was confusing?

There is only one answer the neocons and globohomos have to rectify the pervo woke destruction of our military. That answer also gives them all the healthy, normal young MEN they need for globohomo cannon fodder around the world. If it takes a shooting, non proxy war with the Russians to justify this response, so be it.

From the Selective Service

Overview of What Would Occur if the United States Returned to a Draft:

1. Draft Authorization: Congress and the President

A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.

Payback for actions to secure the border. And our beautiful Republican Party just funded more of the same.

Money must go to illegal immigrants. The military is on the short end of the stick.
