Commanding officers of aviation units could earn a $100,000 retention bonus — provided they remain in the Navy for three more years.
The Aviation Command Retention Bonus program “incentivizes highly talented, hard-working, Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers screened for aviation command to choose to remain on active duty,” according to a new naval administrative message.
Officers will initially receive a payment of $34,000, followed by two $33,000 payments annually.
It’s the same agreement offered to active duty commanding officers for the past two fiscal years under the program. After the CO tour, officers must serve a post-command commander tour lasting between 24 and 36 months.
