An Army unit is offering eligible soldiers a four-day pass tied to the release of “Grand Theft Auto VI” as an incentive to reenlist. Military Times reports the 9th Engineer Battalion is authorizing a 96-hour leave period for soldiers who reenlist by Nov. 14, effectively aligning the pass with the game’s launch.
CBS News adds that the reenlistment requirement includes a minimum service agreement of two years, with up to six years available for those who choose to extend their contracts. Both outlets present the offer as a unit-level reenlistment benefit, with the key shared details focusing on eligibility, the length of the promised pass, and the November reenlistment deadline. The coverage primarily differs in emphasis: Military Times highlights the specific “96-hour” framing and the unit’s name, while CBS News focuses on the contract length range tied to eligibility for the offer.
