Army Enlistment Bonus Payout ?

My enlistment date was November 2007. I didn't actually ship out for basic training until January 2008. I became MOS'q June 2008. And I recieved the first portion of my bonus later that month on the exact date of June 20th 2008. The way my contract is written says I will recieve the next portion on my second year anniversary date. My question is, which anniversary date are they referring to, my enlistment anniversary date? Or the anniversary date of when I got my bonus, which was in june? My husband recieved his bonus the year after he got his first portion, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced that type of payout, or they only got their bonus every year on their enlistment date. Please only answer this question if you know from experience. I don't know whether to expect my bonus now or in November, and I could really use the cash now!! :(
dothan_mike thanks a lot, I seem to keep hearing to different variations still. Some say the enlistment date, and some say the anniversary date of the last bonus payment. On my contract it says it will be split annually on my enlistment term of service date. Is that referring to the November date I enlisted??
 
It comes on the anniversary of getting your MOS qualification.

I shipped for training in August 2007 (Warrior Transition Course), and became MOSQ in December 2007. I did not get my first bonus payment until January 2008. My anniversary payment was January 2009.

So you should get your next installment any time now.
