The Navy will offer some sailors $100,000 to stay in uniform

Only Nucs are really getting that much. But that is about the same as it has been for many years. They still need to target a number of other ratings that are severely undermanned.

Thats a lot of cash!

Money like that would make my stride have more sauce for sure. Can you imagine a bonus like that coming in around Christmas each year... The cats meow.... but scary too....
Next somebody with a bit of ego will want a campaign ribbon for SRB'ers ... with different colored attachments for different rates... and maybe different fleets.

And then there will be new regulations as to the placement and wearing of such hardware. A Nuclear SRB is going to want a bigger ribbon than the SEAL SRB. And then the SRB campaign ribbon will be classified because it will be learned that the SRB's get more attention on liberty than a 3rd class Machinist Mate under three .... because all Bar Girls are spies. After that the ribbons will be Classified SECRET and SRB's will be forbidden to wear their ribbons ... but recipients will be eligible for hazardous duty pay instead. Man, I've been out too long.
