What's the financial bonus to joining the USMC Reserve?

Question

I know that the fiscal year ends in Oct. I'll finish OCS Dec. 15 and I want to know what I'm eligable for.

Answer 1

The USMC doesn't hand out enlistment bonuses. You MIGHT get one based on your MOS but you would have known that when you signed the contract. The only "bonus" you'll get is when you reenlist.

Answer 2

Officers dont recieve a bonus. There are some MOS for enlisted that do but its usually like EOD and Recon Marines, Intel, and Translators

Answer 3

Officers do not get bonuses.  the Marines give out almost no bonuses at all.  

Answer 4

They might do the $4000 bonus again for commissioning but besides that you will get nothing.  Too bad your not in school, you could be eligible for FAP and TAP
