In the Army, Retention shops have Reenlistment Publicity Items (RPI) in my unit I get funny looks when I call it an RPI as it is commonly known as SWAG. What is the best RPI (or similar) item you have received?

The best thing I got was 11k. The great thing was that I reenlisted while deployed, so I got 11k TAX FREE. I did get a knife for my first reenlistment, and I still carry that knife on my hip everyday while in uniform.

I reenlisted Halloween 1998, and got a hearty handshake from the BN CO, and the BN SgtMaj, as well as a tax free ReUp bonus (we were in the Gulf), but no "gift."

Incentive Bonuses make great gifts. Excellent timing, good MOS & some Meritorious Promotions combined to let me see a few of them. They made great gifts.
