Wow, they must be desperate. I wonder what kind of deal someone could work out for a four year active duty enlistment...
" *Cough*...that's a nice lookin' M249 you got there.....*cough* "

Yes, if you can get the ATF to approve this Form 5 transfer to me of this M249 which of course was mfrd in the US by FN in 1985, I'll re-up.

Its 15K
The unit can write off 10 % of its mags annually as expendable anyways, but what an incentive
Every good Supply guy has a few cases stashed away above and beyond their required go to war stocks.
Lucky him. Call me when they give an M16 as a reenlistment bonus instead of that cheesy pin, pen or backpack. |

The national guard has three priorities for m-days.
Retention Retention Retention. Sounds like some creative negotiating on both parts. The magazines crack me up, though. I would have gone for a full MOLLE set and a MICH |

On Fox this morning they were talking about offering some special forces re-ups upwards of $150,000 for another tour.

The SF thing is true. The senior guys are getting it to extend beyond RCP. Couple of the guys in my unit got em, got em tax free too. I only got $30k, but I'm not complaining.

He figures it can't hurt to ask. |

If he's in the CT Guard he's earned it. The deployment schedules of some of those CT units has been insane. |

Wow. That's pretty cool. 30 mags?
30 x $15 = $450 Not alot of money (compared to the bonus), but it's 30 less mags he has to buy.

I would have asked for the same, PLUS an ACOG of my choice (they are cheap to the .gov, right?), a set of gear and body armor... oh and night vision goggles and my own MK23 suppressed/indexed (tax free) w/ LAM, etc.

Except those are sensitive or property book items, where the MREs, the mags, etc are not. |

Its all about negotiation. They can make it happen, and not even use their own inventory. |

Recruiting is funny.
After we recieved our Activation Alert for Iraq, we had 3 prior service guys, one of which was part of OIF I, show up and would only enlist if they were guaranteed to go to Iraq. All the free mags and ammo they could use for a year. One guy got a bonus of 2 extra bullets, but he did have to trade in about 2 inches of his right tibia in the process but he is doing well and will return to us in about 8 months. |

I always joked with my friends that I would would reenlist under 2 conditions:
1) Ten million dollar bonus 2) An autographed picture of god Now in a few months I'll be doing it for a little less. After deploying all I want is to stay in, it's funny how things change. |
