Corps offers up to $50K bonuses for Raiders in retirement range, says there is no shortage

The Marine Corps is offering Raiders with at least 20 years of service up to $50,000 for agreeing to stay extra years, according to an administrative message published Tuesday.
The goal of the bonus is to keep Marines with the 0372 critical skills operator military occupational specialty, or MOS, to stay in the Corps despite being eligible for retirement, a spokeswoman for the Marine Corps said.
“This incentive is to maintain retirement eligible 0372s at a healthy inventory level,†Yvonne Carlock said in an emailed statement. “Their appeal outside of the Marine Corps is assumed to cause Marines to retire and accept higher paying opportunities elsewhere."
