[h=1]Report: California soldiers must repay enlistment bonuses[/h]
That's outrageous.
IMO, that is.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Nearly 10,000 California National Guard soldiers have been ordered to repay huge enlistment bonuses a decade after signing up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, a newspaper reported Saturday.
The Pentagon demanded the money back after audits revealed overpayments by the California Guard under pressure to fill ranks and hit enlistment goals. If soldiers refuse, they could face interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens, the Los Angeles Times (Thousands of California soldiers forced to repay enlistment bonuses a decade after going to war - LA Times ) said.
That's outrageous.
