    Were you in the guard? I know the Guard went through a couple different signing bonus scandals back in the day, but I haven’t ever heard of the same for active duty.

    I think the recruiters have a lot more leeway and control over Guard recruits, since they’re all mostly operated at the state level. I know in the 90’s in California the recruiters were basically just stealing enlistment and reenlistment bonuses.
