At Least 20 Soldiers Choose Reenlistment After U.S. Army Offers Time Off for GTA 6 Launch
About 130 soldiers can get a special four-day pass if they reenlist before Nov. 14, Army officials said.
- About 130 eligible soldiers at the 9th Brigade Engineer Battalion in Fort Stewartin can receive a "special 4-day pass" if they reenlist before the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI," with at least 20 already accepting the offer.
- Angel Tomko, a spokesperson for the 3rd Infantry Division, said the incentive reflects the unit's effort to "retain the best talent" through creative programs aimed at meeting fiscal year 2027 reenlistment goals.
- Eligible troops must commit to two to six additional years of service, with the leave intended to coincide with the Nov. 19 launch of "Grand Theft Auto VI" and exact dates coordinated through each soldier's chain of command.
- The Army has long targeted gaming communities for recruitment, launching an esports team and attending conventions to reach younger Americans after missing recruiting goals in 2018.
- Last year, the 3rd Infantry Division ranked No. 1 in Army retention, with career counselors meeting brigade goals 90 days ahead of schedule, demonstrating the unit's retention strength.
