Is it a breach of contract to not receive my re-enlistment bonus after approximately 2 years of being MOSQ?

Re-enlisted with a bonus. Became MOSQ and failed to receive the bonus after 90 days per the contract. It’s now going on 2 years and still haven’t received it-I have not been flagged for any reason. My Command has been advised of the situation multiple times. IG notified . Would this constitute a breach of contract and I can walk away from the 6 year obligation?

Do not walk away from your obligation! Get a copy (never originals) and have a serious conversation with your unit’s leadership; and your S1. Perhaps you might have them to tackle the the S1 directly. Now, are you Reserve or NG? If the 1st, congressional representative might positively influence the situation. NG, my knowledge is zero on it.

SGT K Sim, Never just walk away from your enlistment, it could be considered as dereliction of duty and or desertion. My advice if you have notified your Command, S1 and IG, I would get JAG involved to see what your legal options are. Just my opinion.

The national Guard has had a structural system problem that lasted over a year. There is a backlog and issues getting the bonuses processed. There are a few ARNG CSMs on here that can advise as they are painfully familiar. Is your contract breached. No. Continue going to drill.
Add ARNG and reenlistment bonus as tags
