Scarce Skills Score Special Pay
November
23, 2006: The U.S. Marine Corps is, like the other services, offering more
money to keep essential personnel in uniform. Now the marines will offer
bonuses of up to $18,000 a year to some pilots. Previously, this Aviation
Continuation Pay (ACP) varied from $3,000 to $10,000 a year. The U.S. Army
Special Forces are offering even higher bonuses to its most experienced
operators. All this is basically paying attention to market forces. Certain
highly trained military specialists, like pilots, or Special Forces (for
security work) are in big demand by civilian firms. The military has taken
years, often ten or more, and over a million dollars, to train these people. It
makes economic sense, not to mention military sense, to offer appropriately
high sums to keep them at the job. The navy is also offering bonuses who
transfer to specialties that are most needed (medicine, security,
construction.)
