The Navy Reserve is offering Naval Reserve affiliation bonuses of $15,000 to certain petty officers leaving active duty as well as to former Sailors. Candidates must agree to serve six years in the selected reserve and cannot have completed more than 16 years of total service. They must possess one of the following skills or be trainable for one: master-at-arms, hospital corpsman, gunner’s mate, intelligence specialist, builder, steelworker, construction electrician, construction mechanic, diver, explosive ordnance specialist, SEAL, or special warfare combatant crewman. Retention is high in the Navy’s active duty ranks, but the Navy Reserve has not met its recruiting goals since January 1985.
