Los infantes de marina que se alisten para trabajos en operaciones cibern\u00e9ticas y criptogr\u00e1ficas obtendr\u00e1n un bono de firma de U$ 15,000, el triple del bono anunciado en el oto\u00f1o de 2022.<\/p>\n
Marines who enlist for jobs in cyber and crypto operations will get a $15,000 signing bonus \u2014 triple the bonus announced in fall 2022.<\/p>\n
A slate of bonuses announced in October 2022 had promised $5,000 as the cyber and crypto enlistment bonus, less than the enlistment bonuses for electronics maintenance ($8,000), chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense ($7,000), or music ($6,000).<\/p>\n
But the\u00a0Marine administrative message<\/a>\u00a0from October 2022 noted that the amounts could be tweaked \u201cas recruiting environment conditions require.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, Marines enlisting into cyber and crypto operations jobs in fiscal year 2023 will receive the heftiest enlistment bonus for any job in the Corps, once they complete training and receive their primary military occupational specialties, according to a June 26 Marine news release.<\/p>\n The military occupational specialties eligible for the bonus are cyberspace warfare operator (1721), communications intelligence\/electronic warfare operator (2621), electronic intelligence\/electronic warfare analyst (2631), cryptologic language analyst (2641) and intelligence surveillance reconnaissance systems engineer (2651), according to the October 2022 administrative message and\u00a0the Corps\u2019 index of specialties<\/a>.<\/p>\n With cyberspace a more\u00a0important domain of warfare<\/a>\u00a0than ever, the service\u00a0has said<\/a>\u00a0it needs Marines<\/a>\u00a0who can defend against cyber attacks and launch some of their own.<\/p>\n The Marine Corps has acknowledged that it\u2019s having trouble finding enough people to fill its cyber slots. That is one of the reasons for the Corps\u2019\u00a0talent management<\/a>\u00a0initiatives, which are aimed at building a more seasoned, technologically capable force.<\/p>\n The Marine Corps, along with the other military services,\u00a0is competing for cyber talent<\/a>\u00a0with the civilian sector, which often offers higher salaries, a 2022 Government Accountability Office report noted.<\/p>\n In fiscal year 2022, approximately 1,200 Marine recruits enlisted for the cyber jobs in question, according to Marine spokesman Maj. Jordan Cochran. The enlistment bonus that year for those jobs\u00a0was $2,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n
