What will happen with SRB at the start of Fiscal Year 19?

The Army cancelled SRB until further notice. I’ve read this was only to avoid going over budget for the current fiscal year. Anyone have insight on the situation? Will the SRB get an overhaul at start of the new fiscal year or will they reinstate the most recent one?

Where did you see that the Army have suspended SRBs? In a MILPER or ALARCT? I’ve not heard this, but then again I don’t qualify for SRB. More details would help, because I didn’t see this discussed in the new NDAA.

The guidance issued from DA is that the SRB issued on 1 Oct will be identical to the current one.

They've been working on the SRB for like 5 years. Just keep doing what you do till they actually figure it out. Just like the APFT and replacing the M4!!!

My 2 cents in the discussion: although having a bonus upon re-enlisting is a great good thing, it shouldn’t be a priority on your decision to stay in!

Good grief- new FY, new policies, new SRB rates.
