How does one know which are crew bases and which are maintenance? I don’t see how to differentiate on the “bases” map.

Is there still the 17,500 sign on stipend.

$17,000 over 5 years? More like a retention bonus. You get $1000 on your first pay check

In this market I wouldn't sign it. The bonus is so back end heavy, for some it creates a problem when they leave at year 4 and have to pay it back, or so they say. 17,500 over 5 years really isn't all that much when you average it out, especially when they tax you on it. Just my opinion though.

I had the same concern. I you only get it if you do a certain amount of time. Not you get you the money and have to stay for a certain amount of time.

Appreciate the info

Do you have to sign something for their retention bonus?

Yes, they send a promissory note with the CJO.

Okay, I didn't see that in my CJO. I enrolled in the cadet program a bit ago.
