The Army is adjusting how it awards reenlistment bonuses, refining how incentive pay is awarded as it tries to keep high-performing soldiers in hard-to-fill roles. The new guidance, put forth in a January military personnel message, applies the Army’s Quality Tiered Incentive Program to reenlistment bonuses, which means the Army will factor in physical fitness, job proficiency and command assessments alongside traditional eligibility criteria. The new policy, effective Feb. 2, does not eliminate bonuses but narrows how and to whom they are awarded. The message also includes a transition period in February, delaying the full rollout of the new bonus…

My love affair with lever guns started with a plastic Winchester M94 —— my first toy gun —— and was cemented by my first real rifle, a Winchester 9422 Magnum that was a graduation present.

This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute.  On Friday, six weeks after a deadline that was reluctantly signed into law by Trump, the Department of Justice released over 3 million documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
