Army and Marine Corps Open $1500 Enlistment Bonus Amid Volunteer Drive
The Army and Marine Corps begin a summer test offering $1500 cash bonuses to recruits for four year combat training. Payments are made after training and combat acceptance to curb bounty jumping seen in Civil War times. The move aims to boost enlistments among high school graduates amid 6 percent overall unemployment and 17 percent for their age group.
