Discharged Soldier to Keep Enlistment Bonus

A 21-year-old former Army private from Mt. Lebanon no longer has to repay nearly $3,000 from his sign-up bonus, despite receiving injuries in Iraq that forced him to leave the military before his enlistment period had ended.

The Army announced yesterday that the repayment request had been a mistake. Officials are conducting a review to see if any other injured soldiers had been told to give back their sign-up bonuses.

It caps a heady week for Jordan Fox, who emerged in the national spotlight after KDKA-TV aired a report Monday detailing his case. Since then, he's appeared on Fox News, MSNBC and several national radio shows.
