If I reenlist under a SRB bonus (for 6 years) do I have to pay it back if I apply for Green to Gold, Active Duty Option? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-reenlist-under-a-srb-bonus-for-6-years-do-i-have-to-pay-it-back-if-i-apply-for-green-to-gold-active-duty-option <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have looked into the DFAS regulation on SRB payments and repayments and it is unspecific on weather or not commissioning falls in that category. It also states on a memorandum within the G2G packet that an SRB will be paid back on the date you leave your current duty station.

Entitlement to additional unpaid bonus is suspended and will terminate upon commissioning or appointment.

I always counsel my soldiers who are planning to commission to take the largest bonus. Once you&#39;re accepted to the commissioning program, you&#39;re no longer eligible for that SRB, even if you still need to reenlist.

The Army wants Sokdiers like you who have the will and desire to become commissioned to do so. Having that variety in the Officer Corp is good for the Army, why would they penalize you for doing so. Good luck on your decision and thank you for your service. CSM Darieus ZaGara Mon, 28 May 2018 13:40:48 -0400 2018-05-28T13:40:48-04:00 2018-05-28T06:08:05-04:00
