The California National Guard is making an about face for re-enlistment bonuses.Bakersfield Congressman Kevin McCarthy says he spoke with the Deputy Secretary of Defense just as the Pentagon was reversing its call for National Guard members to payback re-enlistment bonuses they didn’t know they were not entitled to. McCarthy, who is running for re-election, says he plans to work on a legislative solution to make sure it doesn’t happen again, saying there has been bi-partisan outrage about the call for repayment.
