time of that reenlistment. Failure to meet all eligibility criteria 
will result in forfeiture of continued eligibility for this bonus. The 
follow on three-year bonus, if elected and provided the member meets 
all eligibility requirements, shall be paid, in an amount not to exceed 
$2,500, as if the member had selected the three-year option alone.''.
