I've never even heard of that. But anyway, if the bonus was in his contract he should have gotten it. However, depending on his type of discharge, he might have had to pay back that money anyway. Sometimes (depending on discharge) a bonus may have to be returned if the sailor did not finish out his contract. Why was he only active duty 2 weeks, and what is a ncs bonus?

The ncs is National Call to Service for those that haven't heard of it. You weren't really specific as to what point in the progression he is currently in but if he is currently:
Enlistments under the NCS program will incur an 8-year military service obligation (MSO). This MSO will consist of
a. 15 months active duty after completion of initial training (to include Boot Camp, Apprenticeship Training, and “A”/”C” School (as applicable)), followed by
b. either reenlistment/extension on active duty for at least 24 months, or 24 months as a Drilling Reservist, followed by
c. remainder of MSO in one of the following:
(1) Active Duty.
(2) DRILRES.
(3) Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).
(4) Other national service programs as designated by Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) (if qualified and accepted).
(a) AmeriCorps
(b) Peace Corps
(5) Any Combination of the above.
Since the program hasn't been around for eight years yet he is still serving in one of these areas and his current Personnel Support Detachment or its equivilant for the AmeriCorps and Peace Corps should be able to help with any of his problems.

what is a NCS bonus ?
you say he has been out of active duty for 2 weeks and you have had nothing, well hate to be the one to give you some bad news but once you are out they are in NO rush to pay things to you be it retirement or VA benefits etc

depending on how is contract is worded, he won't get it until AFTER the 24 Months of Reserves duty. otherwise, if it is written that he gets it after his AD commitment, it can take 3-6 months. he needs to put in the paperwork at his Reserve Unit. It will NOT happen automatically.
the Fiscal year ends September 30, and the Military is flat broke until the new year starts October 1.
