The SRB Program provides the Navy the ability to stabilize their Naval Force by encouraging sailors with critical skills to stay in the Navy. Award levels are adjusted as retention needs dictate for particular crucial skills personnel.
Bonuses are determined by enlisted community managers and factor in the previous year’s reenlistment successes, prevailing market conditions, private sector competition and the cost of training and replacing sailors versus retaining existing sailors.
