Selective retention bonuses are bouncing back in 2010.

The average bonus is $31,052, nearly $5,000 more than last year’s $26,300.

Payments are increasing for 35 Air Force Specialty Codes, and the service is adding 10 AFSCs to its SRB list. The total number of career fields in the bonus bonanza is 91.

And getting the extra cash is simple if you’re one of 16,350 enlisted airmen who qualify: Just re-enlist for another four to six years, said Lt. Col. Suzanne Wheeler, deputy chief of the Air Staff’s Force Management Division.

Not all the news is good for airmen looking to stay in — bonuses went down for 32 AFSCs, and two AFSCs, Aero Medical Services and Medical Materiel, fell off the SRB list.
