CyberCommand might be able to do something like the Navy nuclear-propulsion program: Enlisted "nukes" get enlistment bonuses and (if they "re-up" after their initial six-year enlistment) fairly-decent "STAR" reenlistment bonuses.

- halJordan 2y agoThe problem with that is a) the pay still isnt enough. But mainly the problem is that army bonuses are by MOS. The cyber mos can be done by a high schooler (by design). You can just get another high schooler by selling them that theyll be a hacker. Actual operators already get the highest bonus the Army offers. But the reality is the Army will pay a civilian twice what a soldier gets (total compensation, including bonuses and intangibles) for the exact same job.
- alephnerd 2y agoCyberCom is a command, not a branch. Individual branches have leeway to make those compensation changes. A unified command can only provide some additional monies. That said, individual branches absolutely are doing that, and have started doing that after the 2018 hearing referenced in the article above.
