Does anyone know the options a soldier may have nearing their ETS with an IMREPR 9P code on their record?

So a 9P code is simply "loss of qualification of PMOS" in a job such as Linguist and others. Does anyone know the options a soldier may have nearing their ETS with this code on their record? Is the soldier eligible for early separation with this code? Can the soldier simply ETS with this code? Any advice helps as the career counselor here is extremely difficult to get ahold of. Thank you in advance.

9P is a bar from reenlistment in current MOS due to lack of qualification needed. If wanting to get out, you will be able to ETS with no issues as far as I know. If wanting to stay in, you would need to reclassify MOS, which would be needs of the Army.

I doubt your Career Counselor is 'extremely difficult to get a hold of'; they do service 100s of Soldiers though.

In a case with a Loss of PMOS Qualification, you'll need to see your servicing Career Counselor to:

1 - Be processed for separation
2 - A field grade commander determines whether you should be retained or not.
3 - If retained, you'll be processed for a mandatory reclassification.
