The Army has boosted enlistment bonuses for all military occupational specialties and will continue, at least through December, to pay up to $20,000 to recruits who agree to report to basic training within 30 days of enlistment. Recruits can combine bonuses, but the maximum payout remains $40,000.

Under the new enlistment bonus level, for example, a recruit who signs up to be a truck driver (88M) for a six-year term can earn $35,000, plus another $5,000 if he ships to basic training in 30 days.

The 88M MOS is one of several Level I MOSs included in the new enlistment bonus schedule. The other Level I MOSs are 13D (field artillery automated tactical data system specialist), 18X (Special Forces recruit), 25U (signal support systems specialist) and 92F (petroleum supply specialist).

Level I and II MOSs qualify for $20,000 seasonal bonuses. Level 3 MOSs are worth $15,000 in seasonal bonuses, while jobs in Levels 4 through 8 are worth $6,000 for recruits who ship within 30 days.

Recruits in all MOSs who ship in 31 to 60 days can earn $3,000.
