SGT Branch, if the rules have not changed, yes you can go AGR even though you took the RCP money. Here is the catch. You will have to pay the RCP money back when you do retire. It happened to me. It took me three years to pay it back. I retired back in 2007. I would say go talk to a recruiter or even a MILPER clerk to find the answer.

If you are RCP from Active Duty you are not going to be able to come into the AGR program. You are able to come as a Reserve TPU status. But I think when you start to recive your retire pay at what ever age you will have to pay that back. I am on AGR and will follow the same guideline for the RCP time lines that the Active Duty does.

Sorry my brother, but that is incorrect.

If you were forced out due to an RCP, and received separation pay you can enter the Reserve as a TPU soldier (drilling reservist). If you subsequently are promoted to the point where you are no longer affected by the RCP then you may enter into the AGR program, but as has been mentioned, if you eventually become eligible for retired pay you are going to have to repay the entire amount that you received upon RCP separation.

As an E4 was forced by RCP to leave active duty after eight years. I entered the USAR and was a TPU soldier for the next 15 years. I eventually made SFC. A year after I was admitted into the AGR program, and have been doing that for eight years.
