Army Congress Doubles Bonus For Immediate Reenlistment
Congress provided a doubled bonus for immediate reenlistment in the Army ranging from 25 to 50 dollars per year of service. A six year veteran with top pay could earn 600 dollars within 24 hours of completing enlistment, or 300 dollars if delaying up to 30 days.

Release plans aim for uniform rate to maintain unit efficiency. exceptions apply for emergencies. Officers: about half of reserve officers to be released after 12 months. National Guard officers under similar policy.
