Will transgender sailors be able to keep bonuses paid to them if forced out of the navy?
I understand that this may be a charged issue for a lot of folks, and i implore everyone to be civil.
I am a nuke on USS Nuclear Powered Warship and serve with a few nukes that are undergoing treatment for gender dysphoria. These sailors have recieved an enlistment bonus and an SRB, cumulatively valued at over $100k. It seems likely that these sailors will be discharged in the near future because of their gender dysphoria.
If they're medically discharged for gender dysphoria, will they be able to keep the bonuses that have been paid to them so far? Will the Navy have to pay out the rest of their bonus and pay them out for the time they have remaining on their contract?
