Story by Commander Navy Recruiting Command Public Affairs Office
MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Commander, Navy Recruiting Command announced the bonus increases in the Enlistment Incentives (EI) program, which is designed to attract the highest quality of recruits and ensure Fleet readiness Jun 15.
This program, outlined in the latest Navy Recruiting Manual-Enlisted (COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8M), includes various bonuses and incentives for both Active Component and Reserve Component personnel. The Navy message can be located here:

“The maximum current enlistment bonus is $75,000, and the maximum loan repayment is $65,000,” said Rear Adm. Lex Walker, Commander Navy Recruiting Command. “They are not mutually exclusive, so if a Future Sailor maximizes both, that respectively adds up to a life-altering $140,000, and the opportunity to serve in the world’s finest Navy.”
Under the authority of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2023 and the guidance provided in OPNAVINST 1160.9A, the Navy has authorized the following enlistment incentives:
Enlistment Bonus Source Rate (EBSR)
EB High School (EBHS)
EB College Credit (EBCC)
EB for Shipping (EBSHP)
Enlisted Loan Repayment Program (LRP)
The Navy has set maximum limits for certain bonuses. The maximum limit for the Nuclear Field (NUC-NF) is $75,000, while all other rates maintain a maximum limit of $50,000.
Eligibility for bonuses is determined when an applicant enters the Delayed Entry Program (DEP), based on the initial date of entry into DEP, ship date, and the effective message at the time of classification. Prior Service Members reenlisting onto Active Duty or Reserve Duty must meet specific bonus eligibility criteria and not have received a bonus during their first enlistment.
Recruits who successfully graduate from Recruit Training Command (RTC) will receive payments based on specific accomplishments of the bonus criteria. Payments for EBCC, EBSHP, and EBHS are made upon RTC graduation, while EBSR payments are made after a Sailor completes specified training courses based on their enlistment rate.
“By providing these incentives, we are investing in the future of our Navy and ensuring that we maintain a highly skilled and dedicated force,” said National Chief Recruiter, Master Chief Navy Counselor Gerald Allchin. “We encourage individuals who meet the eligibility criteria to explore these opportunities and embark on a rewarding career in the United States Navy."
Active Component recruits in select ratings are eligible for the enlistment bonus for source rate (EBSR) throughout the fiscal year. Similarly, Active Component recruits scheduled to ship in June or July 2024 can receive the EB for High School (EBHS) incentive. Recruits with college credits from accredited institutions are eligible for the EB for College Credit (EBCC), with varying amounts based on the number of credits earned.
Furthermore, Active Component recruits who ship during specified months in FY23 are authorized the EB for Shipping (EBSHP) bonus, depending on their rate/program. The Navy has provided a detailed table outlining the eligible rates and corresponding ship months for EBSHP.
The Navy remains committed to attracting exceptional individuals to serve in its ranks. The EI program serves as a valuable tool in incentivizing enlistment and ensuring the readiness of the Fleet.
