That's why the bonus is such a double-edged sword.
On one hand, commanders can look at signing/non-signing as an indicator of if you're a "company man" or not...and that will impact DPs, strats, assignment pushes, etc.
On the other hand, once you've signed, they know they have you by the balls for several years and can essentially do whatever they want to you (365s, etc).
Big Blue standard...take something sorta positive and find all the possible ways to make it into a lose/lose situation.
