I read on a previous post on this page that Marine Corps pilots recieve bonuses of $25,000/year for F/W and $12,000 for R/W. Just wondering if there was any validity to this statement. Doesn't really matter to me either way as I thought we just recieved base pay and then flight pay each month, but this would definately be an added bonus. Thanks for the help.

The ACCP (Aviation Career Continuation Pay ??) is for those aviators who are at the end of their obligation. It's an incentive to keep pilots/NFO's in the military. It probably will not always be around either since the good economy in the mid-late 90's brought about its need. I'm not sure what the Marine's offer but the Navy offers a 3 and 5 year signing bonus. I just took the 5 year $125,000 bonus. A very good friend of mine and fellow aviator just switched from Navy to Air Force and accepted their 10 year $250,000 bonus.

To be honest, if this was the late 90's and the airlines were hiring, I would have most likely jumped on that band wagon. However, making anywhere from $105K to $110K (gross and obviously including my bonus) a year depending on my BAH isn't too bad for an 0-4.
