Air Force to phase out bonuses for airmen in 33 tough jobs
By Rachel S. Cohen

Airmen in more than 100 of the Air Force’s most challenging and crucial jobs will receive bonus pay in fiscal 2024, but the service is preparing to phase out nearly one-third of those fields from the incentive program.

It’s the latest move in a plan to reshape the special duty assignment pay program to reward a new set of specialties, like recruiting, while limiting the number of airmen who earn those benefits.


Seventy career fields will be eligible for payments ranging from $75 to $450 a month, depending on the job’s duties, responsibilities and training, starting Oct. 1, the service said in a June 23 release. That dropped from 99 the year before, and now includes four careers that weren’t previously on the list.

The service declined to provide the list of jobs that will qualify for special duty assignment pay, but the 121-page chart is available on the Air Force intranet.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It may hurt retention but will, undoubtedly, be made up for in their fine recruiting. :whistle:

THAT seems like a really  clever move!

They can use the money saved to promote some senior Colonels to General Officer ranks,and still have enough  money left over for office space and staffing.

Smart Move,USAF!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
