Question

I am joining the navy soon, and i was wondering does master at arms have a signing bonus?

Answer 1

Sure, in fact I'll tell you exactly how much.

If you have some college then:

ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE = $5,000

BACHELOR'S DEGREE = $8,000

FOR COLLEGE CREDIT EARNED NOT RESULTING IN A DEGREE:

1 YEAR/900 CLASSROOM HOURS OF VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATION = $3,000

2 YEARS/1800 CLASSROOM HOURS OF VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATION = $5,000

12-23 SEMESTER HOURS (OR EQUIVALENT) OF COLLEGE = $2,000

24-47 SEMESTER HOURS (OR EQUIVALENT) OF COLLEGE = $3,000

48-71 SEMESTER HOURS (OR EQUIVALENT) OF COLLEGE = $4,000

72-95 SEMESTER HOURS (OR EQUIVALENT) OF COLLEGE = $6,000

96+ SEMESTER HOURS (OR EQUIVALENT) OF COLLEGE = $7,000

PLUS

It depends when you ship out for MA:

NOVEMBER - JANUARY: $5,000

FEBRUARY - MAY: $7,000

JUNE - OCTOBER: $4,000

Answer 2

doubtful.  Its overmanned as it is and everybody wants to be one.  

Only ratings in need of bodies get bonuses associated with them.  

Answer 3

it depends on your contract before you leave to basic ask to look at your contract if you signed up for 4 years probaly not but if you signed up for 5 or 6 you will more than likely have a signing bonus.

if you get a bonus its conditional basically to collect you cannot go to captains mast beore completeing a school and you must complete to get your bonus

good luck
