US Army Offers Four-Day Pass to GTA 6 for Soldiers Who ReenlistPreviousNext

A US Army battalion at Fort Stewart, Georgia, is offering eligible soldiers a four-day pass to coincide with the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) as an incentive to reenlist for at least two more years, with contracts up to six years. About 130 soldiers are eligible, and 20 have accepted the offer. The initiative aims to align reenlistment incentives with soldiers' interests and may expand across the military. The memo authorizing this was verified by multiple sources.
