Question about Air National Guard enlistment bonus?

Question

Hi, I'll be 18 in a month but im enlisting next summer in the Maryland Air National Guard as security. I speak fluent French, good spanish, and decent italian and german. plus I'm enlisting with my friend. Now of course I would enlist even if there was no bonus, but I'm just curious. so my questions are:

1. how much of an enlistment bonus should I receive?

2. will I receive all that money up front?

thanks!

Answer 1

1.  Go to the ANG website for info on bonuses.  Check the unit you want to join, then check the "hot jobs" category.  It should tell you there.

2.  No, you won't receive a dime up front.  Why should you?

Upon successful completion of Basic Training, followed by graduation from the Security Forces Academy, you will then report to your unit.  Once there, come in contact with the finance office.  They will get the ball rolling on your bonus.

Answer 2

With your facility with languages why in the world would you enlist in Security Forces? s***w the 'bonus' and go into an intelligence related field... You'll be dealing with spooks, but you can't have everything!
