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.

Interested in receiving an Army quick ship enlistment bonus? Request more information on enlisting with no obligation.

The Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) replaces the old Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) as the US Air Force’s standard camouflage uniform and is required for all airmen by 2011.

The uniform, shown at right, replaces the old woodland camouflage pattern with a digitalized pattern of grey, tan and sage green. This new pattern is based upon research designed to decrease the uniform’s profile when viewed in a natural setting. The Air Force removed the color black from the uniform due to the fact that deep black colors rarely appear in natural environments and it is highly visible to users of night vision goggles.

The uniform is available through Air Force supply channels, or anyone can purchase Airman Battle Uniforms (ABUs) online without military identification.
