The Nuclear-Trained Petty Officer Continuation Bonus: First Year's Experience

Abstract

The report shows the response of the Navy's Nuclear-Trained Enlisted Force to a special continuation bonus, enacted by Congress in 1972 to forestall an expected shortage of supervisors. The Nuclear-Trained Petty Officer Continuation Bonus, payable to reenlistees with six to ten years' completed service, accumulates to more than $12,000 over the reenlistment term. The direct effect of this unique reenlistment incentive is analyzed with data from the first four full quarters of bonus experience.
