An enlistment bonus generally isn't included in your yearly income for the purposes of recruitment until they know for sure what rate/mos you'll be. Until then it's not something a recruiter can offer unless that enlistment bonus is available to all enlistees. And it'd still only be for the single year. They aren't giving you $75K every year of your 4-6 year first enlistment.
