Proposal Statement
Include a provision in the NDAA amending Title 10 to eliminate or provide a repayment pathway around the prior enlisted bonus bar for non-medical officers.
Recommendation Information
A statutory barrier currently prohibits non-medical prior-enlisted commissioned officers from receiving retention bonuses if they previously received any bonus - even a partial bonus — as an enlisted member.

NGAUS urges Congress to amend the law to either permit repayment of prior enlisted bonuses to restore officer eligibility, or to allow officer retention bonuses regardless of prior enlisted bonus receipt.
