The Air Force is wooing enlisted airmen and guardians in nearly 40 career fields to stay in the service with as much as $360,000 in bonus pay.
A midyear list of Air Force and Space Force high-priority enlisted jobs that can snag some extra cash, released Wednesday, includes specialties from Chinese and Russian language analysts to aircraft maintainers to health care workers.
The service offers bonuses to active-duty airmen who reenlist for jobs with a dwindling workforce or those where people are particularly expensive to replace and retrain. Airmen can sign up for as many as four additional years at a time, and have to stay in the Air Force for the entire duration of their reenlistment to get the bonus.
