I'm getting a chapter 5-17 from the U.S. Army, DO I HAVE TO PAY BACK MY SIGNING BONUS?
You will have to payback the amount of the bonus,that was in your contract agreement that you did not fullfill Example: if you got a 3k bonus for 3 years and got all the money you would be required to payback 2200. 3 years =3000 3 years= 36 months 3000/3=1000 per year/12= around 83 a month bonus money 83.00 X 10 months = 830 3000-830 = 2170 to be repaid Good luck to you

Concerning Army Chapter 5-17?
I am getting out of the Army under Chapter 5-17. It's due to depression & a suicide attempt. I don't need criticism for this because it's a lot of things going on with my unit that had me to do these things. First of all I went and got help for my severe depression (like the Army tells you to do when your having problems). My psych gave me anti-depressant pills and I was seeing a counselor once a week. The medicine had crazy side effects (binge-eating at 3am, too much sleep or not enough sleep, vomiting, etc.) I asked my chain of command can they do something with the work schedule until I get off the pills so I can function day-to-day. I got a "no" because basically everybody at my unit is dealing with depression. I did get a profile for 24 hr. duty stating that I would work 16 hrs and sleep the other 8. But once my profile expired I was back on cq duty. So after switching to 4 different pills I got off the pills and my depression got worse (I still had it bad when I was on them) and I re-lapsed and ended up in the hospital for a suicide attempt right before Christmas. Just so you know I have been in the Army for 5 years and 4 months. I have also deployed to Iraq in 2007 and never had bad conduct while I was in the Army - no article 15's etc. Just not cut out with working 60-84 hrs. every week in a non-deployabl unit. Anyways I'm starting my mental evaluation and physical next week and I need to know how long it would take, also would I have to pay my re-enlistment bonus back and will I get terminal leave. If you need any information about what happened or other things my email is foxxythang08@hotmail.com.
What is a good time to run 5 miles in?
Ignore all the bragging!Just to run a full 5 miles is an achievement.For a 20yo in good shape, (and I don't mean a regular runner, just not morbidly obese or suffering from any illness,) a time of 40 min or less would be pretty good. In fact, for a non runner of any age, 10 min per mile would be OK as a start point. Keeping that up for 5 will take at least a bit of training.From day one of your running, it would take about 6 weeks, running 3–4 times per week, to knock 25% off your initial time. But you wouldn't start off with the full 5 miles.If you take it seriously, there's no reason why you shouldn't be aiming for a much quicker time. But take your time and get a good training plan or you'll end up injuring yourself.
