you will be working your *** off as a mechanic. Good luck getting all of your bonus at once. Thats what I thought would happen on my enlistment bonus and they split it up. You get ten k for the first one then they split it evenly for the rest of your enlistment. Not sure if they have an option for a lump sum enlist bonus but I doubt it. Oh and they tax the **** outta it also like 23 percent or higher
