Why does the process begin in basic training as opposed to AIT? At least then the applicant would be a qualified soldier prior to getting the "bonus." Other bonuses such as enlistment bonus, MGIB, etc. aren't able to be used until after training is completed, so why is this any different?
What happens if the future soldier doesn't make it through basic? Do they automatically get sent to the back of the line, or continue with the process since the dollars have already been invested? What about those who don't fulfill their commitment but were granted citizenship?
