I&#39;m looking at getting back in but recruiter is saying that I would have to file an exception to policy since my contract would be 5 years which would bring me to 13 years if I somehow didn&#39;t get promoted. Does anyone know if IRR counts or not and specifically where in AR 601-280 it states what? (I&#39;ve looked and can&#39;t find anything) Mon, 06 Jan 2020 10:41:06 -0500 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-irr-count-towards-rcp <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I ETSed in 2016 and my 8 year commitment (3 years IRR) ended in 2019.

So, RCP will not affect you. I know this because when I came back in with 10 years under my belt already, I didn&#39;t have to worry about RCP. That is, unless my Recruiter did you an ETP and I wasn&#39;t aware of it.

You&#39;d still need the exception for a five year contract because that would exceed RCP for a non promotable E4 SFC Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 06 Jan 2020 11:25:54 -0500 2020-01-06T11:25:54-05:00 2020-01-06T10:41:06-05:00
