When do I receive my US Army Signing bonus?

Question

I'm enlisting in early September to be an MP in the Army. It's my Sr. year and I'll probably be leaving in July. How long after I enlist will I receive my signing bonus?

Answer 1

once you complete basic training and ait.  

Answer 2

You have to successfully complete both BCT and AIT. Once you do that, you will receive 1/2 of the bonus. The other half will be paid in equal installments over the remainder of your contract on the anniversary of your enlistment.
