Naval special warfare officers could receive up to $125,000 under a new retention bonus the service is offering.
According to a NAVADMIN released Friday, qualified naval special warfare officers can apply for retention bonuses in exchange for another three or five years of service. Those eligible are officers with designators 1130 or 1137 and who have a minimum of 15 years of active-duty commissioned service under their belt, the Navy said.
Special warfare can improve U.S. Contextual understanding of potential partners and the situation on the ground. Special warfare's small-footprint approach allows the United States to pursue cost-effective, cost-imposing strategies. On MyPers under the retraining tab, reference the memo: ‘Clarification of Crossflow/Retraining Policy for Air Force Special Warfare (AFSPECWAR) and Combat Support Candidates.’ This memo states that any Airmen that meet cross-training and eligibility requirements may pursue cross-training into Special Warfare operator or support career fields. Special Warfare Preparatory Course changes the way Airmen train The Air Force’s Special Warfare Training Wing has refined its training program for Airmen attempting to enter the Tactical Air Control Party, Special Tactics or Guardian Angel weapons systems, in an effort to create more well-rounded future operators. Special Warfare Operators (SO) perform maritime and land-based Special Operations in urban, desert, jungle, artic, and mountain environments. The Special Warfare Training Wing, headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, selects and trains the Air Force’s conventional and special operations ground combat forces to meet the demand of the future battlefield.
The bonuses range from a total of $15,000 to $125,000 and are broken down in two phases: Phase 1 for those with 15 years of active duty service and Phase 2 for those with 20 to 22 years of active duty service.
Among both phases, the amount varies depending on the length of the agreement and if the service members is a command eligible officer — one who screened positive at a NSW CO/XO Administrative Screening Board for executive officer, the Navy said.
Command-eligible NSW officers with designator 1130 and 15 years of service are eligible to sign on for a five-year agreement and receive $25,000 each year, or a three-year agreement totaling $15,000 annually under a Phase 1 contract. Meanwhile, command eligible NSW officers with designator 1137 and 15 years of service can qualify for a five-year agreement totaling $12,000 each year and a three-year agreement totaling $7,500 each year.
Those who did not screen positive with the board and who have the designator 1130 and 15 years of service can qualify for a five-year agreement amounting $15,000 each year or a three-year agreement for $5,000 each year.
