I was told that the Navy would pay my student loans back. Now they are telling me that I am not eligible for the LRP because they have stopped accepting applicants for FY2010. I ship out in January 2011 and if I am not mistaken, I should qualify because the above statement says that “Currently, all active programs, with the exception of the Full Time Support (FTS) and the New Accession Training Programs (NAT), are eligible for the LRP in rates that ship to boot camp in FY-2011.” So essentially, since I have all the paperwork done and the lender has the paperwork as does the Navy, I should be fine. So why is the recruiter telling me that the Navy has done away with the LRP completely? I fail to see how one day after my paperwork is done, they tell me that I cannot have the LRP. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Michael,
Because a person is eligible for a bonus, program, or even a rating, does not mean that it will be available at the time they apply. That said, I have not heard any news about the program being done away with. As a matter of fact, CNRC still has the FAQ and contact information for the program listed here; http://www.cnrc.navy.mil/EIncentives/EB%20_FAQ.htm

Hello, was just wondering if there were any loopholes or exceptions to this new LRP standard. I signed up in March and leave for bootcamp the end of this month, and I was really hoping that the Navy would pay off part of my loans. After being told by my recruiter that only those jobs listed above were eligible, I found a girl who just signed up in May, got a job in Sonar, and she is getting the LRP. Any information you have would be helpful, thanks.

Erin,
There isn’t any loop holes. Various bonuses and programs open and close depending on a number of factors, all of which are to ensure the right number of people, of the right quality, enlist in the programs with the greatest need.
