I haven't heard of that program but that doesn't mean that there isn't one out there.
I know they were giving out Navy Achievement Medals for those that got three people to enlist. I won't bore you with the amount of suffering I've been though to be awarded my NAM's. |

I may be off base here so take this with a grain or two of salt. I believe you can enlist under the buddy system where you and your buddy go through basic training together, but I'm unaware of any bonuses to be had. Once out of basic, if you get someone to enlist there MAY be a bonus involved.

Never heard of recruiters giving a "finder's fee" (BOUNTY?!) before. To the best of my knowledge the factors affecting an enlistment bonus would be the particular MOS and possibly the length of term of service.
The bottom line: If a recuiter doesn't put it in writing IT DOESN'T EXIST! Remember, he's a salesman. When you go to buy a car you're dealing with a salesman. You work the deal so you are getting a fair shake. Same here. Be a smart shopper. Good luck, Jason. |

I have never heard of a bonus for enticing your buddies to enlist, but only bonuses for MOSs with a shortage or number of years signed. I have seen them promote you 1 grade for this though.

I know the Georgia National Guard (could be country wide) has a bonus program where you get $150 per person you get to sign up. Normally you do that after you get to your unit after basic and tech school. And after so many, three I think, you get a recruiting ribbon.

Thanks for the information. Considering MP service in the Army. Not going to go into my thought process, as I'm not sure yet. Thank you Jason.
