REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES




Millions Spent Needlessly In Navy And

Marine Corps' Aviation Bonus Program




To help solve shortages in aviation special-
ties and retain quality officers, the Con-
gress in 1980 approved the aviation officer
continuation bonus. The Navy and Marine
Corps did not, however, follow the Con-
gress' guidelines to judiciously manage and
award these bonuses. As a result, as much
as $80 million of the $103 million commit-
ted by the services in fiscal year 1981 has
been, and is being, spent unnecessarily.

Because some specialties will continue to
have shortages, GAO is recommending to
the Congress that the bonus program be
extended, but under tighter restrictions.
