The only rate in the Navy currently eligible for SLRP is Musician.
Signing bonuses are currently offered to Nuke, CTI, and various flavors of SPECWAR, but not CTN.
I have never been a recruiter and do not know all the ins and outs there, but it sounds par for the course. Being Prior Service seems to make it harder, especially when you're trying to get in as a different rating than you previously were. I wouldn't count on being able to switch from Reserves to AD easily either. I've heard all sorts of horror stories.
