$75k for non-tacair is them basically saying "thanks for your time, but we will get enough of you to stay without paying you anything." After taxes and dividing it up into installments, it may as well be nothing.
That's because they're only taking 30-40% of non tacair guys to O-4 thanks to the 8 year winging commitment and have plenty left over for DH.

I have seen the same from the PERS 43 folks and agree, its a non factor. Maybe if the bonus was increased significantly it would truly be a retention bonus but I don't see that happening in today's fiscal environment.

The rumor mill is spinning furiously w/large numbers upwards of +50K/yr...but they're just rumors. NOTHING can happen w/o first being approved by Congress. As I read in another forum, that's unlikely to change in an election year...

Get out when ya can, that's what I'm doing, regardless of the bonus.
