The purpose of this thesis is to provide the Marine Corps with an analytical review of its primary military occupational specialty (PMOS) bonuses, specific to aviation maintenance occupations, that have been available to Marines from 2008 – 2018, as well as, the aviation maintenance specific skills bonus implemented during the fiscal year (FY) 2018 selective retention bonus (SRB) program. The thesis includes a literature review on the importance of aviation maintenance specific skills and the economic theory related to pay incentives in the Department of Defense; a summarization of requirements to obtain an aviation maintenance certification; a review of the SRB program; and a data analysis on take-up rates and factors affecting re-enlistment odds. An understanding of the requirements needed to produce an aviation maintenance Marine with certifications and take-up rates for those specific PMOS bonuses during this period can assist the Marine Corps in updating policies targeting the intended population for retention and hard-to-fill assignments respective to specific MOSs. Review of the SRB program explains how the program has changed over time, details what MOSs and level of experience are targeted, and longitudinal information. The analysis in this thesis identifies that changes in SRB amounts are not statistically significant correlated to affecting the odds of aviation maintenance Marines re-enlisting but increases to SRB cap amounts increase the odds of re-enlistment.
