Carronade The Yankee Sailor Carronade

The Sea is a choosy mistress. She takes the men that come to her and weighs them and measures them. The ones she adores, she keeps; the ones she hates, she destroys. The rest she casts back to land. I count myself among the adored, for I am Her willing Captive.

FLASH TRAFFIC:
I've relocated to a new Yankee Sailor.

Reserve SWO Bonus

I hadn't heard of this before:

THE CURRENT SELECTED RESERVE OFFICER BONUSES AND INCENTIVES ARE LISTED BELOW ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
A. OFFICER AFFILIATION BONUS.
(1) BONUS AMOUNT: INCREASED TO $10,000 LUMP SUM.
(2) AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS QUALIFIED IN DESIGNATORS 1115, 1445, 1635, 4105, 5105.
(3) MUST HAVE NO CURRENT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO SERVE IN THE SELECTED RESERVE.
(4) AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS WHO HAVE SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED ANY REQUIRED ACTIVE DUTY OBLIGATED SERVICE AND WHO HAVE NEVER PREVIOUSLY SERVED IN THE SELECTED RESERVE.
(5) AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY SERVED IN THE SELECTED RESERVE BUT WHO HAVE NOT SERVED IN THE NAVY RESERVE AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST 24 MONTHS.
(6) MUST AFFILIATE IN THE DRILLING RESERVE IN AN INACTIVE DUTY TRAINING (IDT) PAY STATUS FOR A MINIMUM OF 3 YEARS, AND SERVE SATISFACTORILY FOR EACH YEAR OF THE OBLIGATION.
When did the Navy start paying bonuses to SWOs willing to serve in the reserves?
