Per the drawing attached should the neut./ ground be bonded in the circuit breaker box or just the disconnect?

Bond in the first disconnect, and carry 4 wires to the panel.

Thought I agreed, but now I'm not sure... If your disconnect is unbonded, you may be ok being bonded in the panel. The key is to be bonded in one location only.

I think per NEC it has to be bonded in first disconnect.

Pardon my ignorance, I'm assuming bonding means tying the neutral and ground together? Also, in the drawing it appears that in the breaker box the neutral (light wire?) is bonded to the ground wire and one of the HOT wires???? Maybe, just the way it's drawn???
