Glad to hear he's handling it well. Good luck to him.

Good for him! Submariners do some really neat things and there are great opportunities for graduate education. He may find he loves it; if he doesn't, he'll have great options in 5 years.

Big bonus structure certainly helps to incentivize!

And the DoD budget just approved new starts on a whole bunch of Virginia class subs. Good time to be in the field.

AND they were honored at army navy.

It feels right.

I’ve entered our name into the commissioning of the next Virginia class sub in NJ. Maybe we will actually get to attend that.

Circling back a bit…I took a little break. Getting all caught up.

DS handled the ‘draft’ well. He is home now, studying and reading for his day long testing and iterviewing that is yet to occur in February at the Pentagon. So he is still in a somewhat limbo state as he still has to pass tests and interviews. They have all been assigned a mentor. The Sub signing bonus doubled for 2024 (assigned November 2023). So that’s pretty neat. Actually REALLY neat.

Yes they can ‘refuse’. They will (most likely) be sent to SWO. And to an open position, after ship selections have occurred. Wherever the Navy needs them, their OOM not mattering (as selection has already occurred).

I so proud of him. It was a shock. And then a disappointment. But now acceptance. And he is proud and understands what an honor it is to be hand picked for this elite group.

He was looking forward to graduating and commissioning, and moving on. Now he is studying to apply to ‘Navy Nuke School for his nuclear engineering degree’ and ‘USNA part 2’

And I am one PROUD MOMMA!! And this is where he is meant to be. Appreciate all the perspective/focus shares, here. All very true!!

I am so happy to hear all of this!! he will be amazing - I have no doubt!!!!

DD1 advises that 2023 is also getting the extra bonus as back pay.

It's the gift that keeps on giving, especially since she would have chosen subs even without the bonus.

Where did she get the info that the extra bonus will be applied as back pay?

Yes, please do tell. And how much dinero are we talking about?

 

[justdoit19]

The previous bonus was 15k, doubled to 30k.

All at once dumped into their accounts after being selected and officially assigned (pass tests and interviews). So early selectees already have it.

Nice! Sure hope 2023 sub grads get the extra 15K (or I know of one ensign who is going to be REALLY SALTY).
