Reenlisting Aims For Branch Choice And Benefits
A serviceman argues reenlisting for 3 years lets him pick Air, Ground, or Service Forces, gain mustering-out pay and a $50 yearly reenlistment bonus per year served, full-term family allowances, and potential GI Bill benefits. He anticipates 30 to 90 days furlough with pay, plus travel paid. He notes retirement options after 20 years and credit for prior active service, concluding reenlistment seems sound.
Army reenlistment rules extend to February 1 1946
Men now in the Army who reenlist before February 1 will be reen listed in present grade. Those honorably discharged may reenlist within 20 days after discharge in the grade held at discharge, provided reenlistment occurs before February 1 1946. Enlist anytime for 1 2 or 3 year terms including one year for men with at least 6 months of service.
