I have changed branches here at OCS from QM to MP and had a student loan repayment signing bonus. Will I lose this now?

USARC was the overall change-makers, as they stated both qualify for a bonus I am not sure how to secure it after transitioning as there is no POC for this.

Your contract will have the specifics.

Most major commands Brigade or higher ( ESCs, CACOMs and Theater Support Commandz have recruiters and they also have jag officers as well. Talk to both of them. Have your contract in hand.

Depends on what the paperwork says

We need a little more info. Is the bonus dependent on becoming an officer, time in service, or your MOS training?

Hello All - So for this, the contract states 09S which is OCS. However, it is granted (I guess in the background) upon a Specific Branch. I was initially told MP does qualify but they don't seem too keen on helping me, as everyone I attempt to reach about the issue outside of USARC is either busy or assumes I will keep it. USARC is saying I will not. I am annoying them and getting threatened with the branch transfer being canceled.
