Post; Army Adjusts Re-enlistment Policy


The U.S. Army has sent mailings to 78,000 people who left the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine Corps offering reenlistment at their former rank if they have not been out of the service for more than four years. Under the new program, former servicemembers from all branches of the military can join the Army at their old rank and without going to basic training again. In addition they are eligible for a signing bonus of up to $19,000, depending on their skill specialty. Former sailors and airmen would still have to undergo the "Blue to Green" training course unless they have attended Army or Marine boot camp in the past.
