I completed BCT and AIT on April 13, 2007 and upon returning home, I immediately turned in my DD214 and all necessary documents to everyone I was told to, and here I am 2 Months later, and still havent received my enlistment bonus. I have already done two drills, one in the field. I have tried ruffling feathers all over, but have gotten no straight answer, does anyone have any idea who can help me. It might not be a problem if I didnt really need the cash.
Thanks in advance,
PFC Kennedy

Ask your Readiness NCO to look you up in iMARC, which is the incentives database. If he doesn't have iMARC access, he should, so get with his supervisor and ask the same question. Thanks to iMARC, we have far more visibility on the status of incentives than a few years ago.
If all else fails, get the number to your state Education Services Officer (ESO). Work through your chain of command first, however, before jumping. Going straight to the top doesn't necessarily get things done any faster. Often people at the lower end can get stuff done quicker, because they're closer to the problem.
