[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3572209, member: 7900"] When I served, there weren't any sign-on bonuses. However, I had a good recruiter. After testing, they found me in a high percentage on the tests and the "powers that be" in OKC got in touch with the recruiter in Guymon and told him to get me interested and signed up with the Army Security Agency. When he visited with me, he told me to be sure and avoid signing up for OCS until I had gotten my MOS. He said that with my scores, they would be trying to get me to do OCS. He also explained that if I didn't succeed in OCS, then the Army could assign me to whatever MOS they wanted, regardless of what I had asked for. So, I followed his advice and made sure that I had an MOS under my belt. Didn't do a thing for my after-military career as what I did was not a skill used in the private sector. The best I could have done was to work for the government, specifically at NSA or wherever because of my work skills. That wasn't what I wanted to do, and a career in the ASA would have been harmful to a family man. Too many hardship tours where one couldn't take one's family. [/QUOTE]
