reinlist
She misses her child terribly so she reenlists partway through her deployment ?
shareYes, because she originally thought that she would not go back again on deployment. Things like that happen a lot in the military. They promise you one thing, then, change their mind.
sharePlus they give big bonus money to re-up. It's hard to pass up.

Probably not for her. Her MOS group is not high demand.
A 68W is almost never higher than tier 3 in SRBs. A 3 year reup would get her about 5k. 4 years 7k. By comparison SF MOS group is tier 10, always never changes. 3 years at her rank would get an 18B 50k. Critical skills retention bonus may be higher and is often available to medics but it would never happen on a deployment. Actually the Army does a pretty good job at making sure people can't reenlist while deployed. See reuping in a tax free area, gets you a tax free bonus. You either need to reup before deploying or do an extension or in some cases get involuntarily extended, in some cases transferred to non-deployable status till getting out.
Is that right? Not as much as I thought she'd get.

They are very slick. A Sgt. or Specialist might actually get more. They count on E-6s and E-7s to have that moral connection like the character. Her better bet would be to reclass to another MOS maybe something more specific in the medical field. Either that or work up to SNCO and the bonus will be better.

Really? I was a medic (MOS 91D20) and I was offered a substantial re-up bonus (0ver $70,000 in today's money), because my MOS was deemed a critical one. share
