The U.S. Army now offers new recruits a $20,000 signing bonus if they’re willing to act quickly. If you sign your enlistment contract and agree to leave home for basic training within a month, you’ll receive a $20,000 bonus to compensate you for acting quickly.

New soldiers accepting the Quick Ship bonus receive an initial $10,000 payment when they successfully complete basic training and advanced training. The remaining $10,000 is divided into equal payments over the course of the contract.

This $20,000 bonus is one of the largest incentives ever paid to new recruits and reflects the Army’s struggle to meet recruiting goals over the past year. It’s quite a motivation for new enlistees, who earn less than $20,000 in a single year, according to the 2007 military pay tables.
