The Navy will give recruits a $25,000 signing bonus if they ship off to boot camp before the summer.

The sea service said in a press release that anyone who is willing to start boot camp between April and June of this year will get the bonus.

The Navy is the only military branch that offers this high of an enlistment bonus for new recruits.

There were challenges for military hospitals in Pandemic due to staff shortages and burnout.

According to the press release, the bonus will stack with other recruitment incentives that target specific specialties. The service said that the enlistment bonus could be as high as $50,000.

Navy recruits who have recently signed up but aren't shipping out until July to September can move up their departure and cash in as well.

The Army, Navy, and Air Force all increased the number of troops in their ranks in 2020 compared to the year before, despite the Pandemic making it harder for the military services to recruit new personnel.

The Air Force hit its recruiting targets for the first time in five years.

The Navy and the Army are both offering eye-widening sums of money to get new recruits. The Navy said in its latest budget request to Congress that it expects to see a decrease in active-duty personnel over the next five years.

According to documents released at the end of March, the Navy expects to have more than 350,000 sailors by fiscal 2026. The service told Congress in its budget last year that it expected to have over 350,000 sailors by that time.

The documents predicted a decline in reserve numbers over the next several years. The Navy told lawmakers that it expects to have fewer sailors in the reserves over the next three years.

In the Army's case, it started offering up to $50,000 in January, though its website notes that a recruit would need to combine several bonuses on offer for shipping out quickly, having in-demand skills or following certain career paths to hit that top figure.

That is more than double what was allotted at the peak of the wars.
