US Army confirms it's offering 4 days to play GTA 6 to soldiers who reenlist for at least 2 years
This, apparently, is pretty normal stuff.
The US Army's 3rd Infantry Division has announced a unique incentive for soldiers who reenlist for at least two years, offering them a four-day pass in November to play Grand Theft Auto 6 when it releases. The Special Reenlistment Incentive memo, dated July 28, was revealed through the US Army WTF! Moments account on Instagram. Eligible soldiers must sign a reenlistment contract between August 1, 2026, and November 14, 2026, to be authorized for the special four-day pass, specifically designated for the game's launch.
Lt. Col. Angel Tomko explained that the command team wanted to motivate soldiers to reenlist by connecting the incentive to their interests. The program is limited to the 3rd Infantry Division and is proving to be successful, with 20 out of 130 eligible soldiers already choosing the offer. While some find the idea distasteful, Tomko emphasized that the response from soldiers has been highly positive and that reenlistment incentives are a common practice in the US Army to retain top talent.
