It has been 6 months since I graduated from training. When will I receive my initial enlistment bonus?

I have talked to everyone possible in my chain of command and it seems like I am never going to receive it. I was promised that I would receive it 45 days after I processed into my unit. The only person constantly pushing the coc to do something is my team leader. Is there anything I should do or should I just sit back and wait. I can guarantee I have it in my contract and my leadership has seen it.

Have you submitted everything to your S1? If I remember correctly, your CoC does nothing in the process...

If you haven't received your initial bonus your RNCO should update your MOSQ in SIDPERS and you need a passing APFT entered in SIDPERS also. Once the passing APFT is in SIDPERS you should see the bonus payment within 45 days of that action. If you need help getting in contact with the Incentives Team shout and I'll help get you in contact with them.
