IF you decide to change rates while in boot camp, you really need to be careful. It should not put you back in your training, as all training there is the same for everyone. Your time in the navy is basically all the same, everyone signs up for 8 years, mostly 6 years active and 2 reserve or 4 active and 4 reserve, check your contract for this. As far as your signing bonus...yes it very well could change, your bonus was awarded for the rate you got, it could very well go down or be eliminated all together..make sure you ASK before you sign!
