The retention incentive program that closed Dec. 31 for most captains in year groups 1999-2004 has been expanded for two select categories of officers.

Promotable captains from year group 1999 who were selected below-zone by the 2007 major board, and who previously were ineligible for any of the incentives, are now eligible for the full menu of cash, schooling and assignment options.

The application deadline for the five incentives is March 26. Officers are limited to one of the following options:

• Critical Skills Retention Bonus of $25,000 to $35,000 in return for a three-year service extension.

• Army-funded graduate school. Officers approved for this option incur a service obligation of three days for every day spent in school.
