I just joined up ROTC as a sophomore and will be going to Basic Camp this summer (June). When I was joining ROTC the program recruiter really emphasized the $5,000 bonus I would recieve If I went to camp as a upcoming junior.
Now that I have joined and gotten a Slot for Basic Camp he is downplaying the bonus.
He says that the bonus would be nice but is “iffy and would be nice”
I am not doing ROTC for the money but it would definitely be nice to receive it.
How does this work? Is it just a bait and switch? Is there a catch to receiving it?

You should put the recruiter to task and speak with the station NCOIC or Commander, if it was authorized you should receive it. At the very least you may help in exposing a recruiter who conducts themselves unethically, which cannot be tolerated. I thank you for your future service. If you wish to be an Officer and you identify unprofessional conduct you need to display the morale courage needed to become an Officer.

Did you sign a contract? What was in your contract? Is it contingent on you completing the requisite camp? Is It the sum total of the pay from Basic and Advanced Camp?
The answers are all in plain sight: https://www.goarmy.com/rotc/rotc-bonus.html
Make sure it is in your contract.

Sam M it’s not just completing the camp. You have to sign a contract too. Just for your situational awareness that bonus will be taxed. I got the bonus after completing what used to be basic camp and signing a contract. Then you start getting paid $350 a month as a junior. Go to advanced camp. Come back a senior and get paid $450 a month.

Also, the bonus is normally only if you contract the fall semester of your junior year.
