The Corps is broadening eligibility for Reserve enlistment bonuses and Montgomery GI Bill kickers, according to a Corps-wide message released Saturday.
The service is adding 14 military occupational specialties to its list of 30 MOSs already eligible for a $10,000 sign-on enlistment bonus and $350 monthly MGIB kicker paid in addition to the bill’s basic monthly stipend, said MarAdmin message 242/07.
The Corps augmented the list after a review found certain MOS enlistments weak. “What keys the MOS’ eligibility is the strength of the MOS,” said Gunnery Sgt. Jason Bell, Reserve promotions and incentives chief for Marine Corps Reserve Affairs.
“It’s a fluid list” that is updated about every six months, he said.
The new MOS list includes: riflemen, antitank assault guided missilemen, field wiremen, field radio operators, unit-level circuit switch operators, field artillery cannoneers, engineer equipment operators, combat engineers, bulk field specialists, M1A1 tank crewmen, main battle take repairmen, ground communications organizational repairers, drivers and logistics vehicle systems operators.
