I am assuming that you are talking about the retention bonus for aviators (?), in that Yes Sir, they did but only if you are in a certain airframe which, right now I think is 64D's and Mh-47's. The rest of us, according to the Army can stay or go...no hair off their sack. However, that is the problem that we are having, retaining the mid-career experienced flyers who teach us young ones everything they can and then some. We are not hurting for new pilots by any means, and I know of at least one airframe (the -60's) that are at about 400% strength right now. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next 8 years when their obligation is up and they have logged neary 1k hours due to overmanning. That is why I chose to drive the Hooker....less people.
