I would think that a demotion would void that soldiers chance of RCP.

You're chaptered either way, it may show both chapters the SM is being separated under.

They only show what chapter you were released from duty on the DD214. It would not show multiple chapters, as you are separated for one or another not both. On a side note, regardless of the reason you separate from the military, you are "chaptered" as you are released from the military under a specified chapter of the regulations, whether it be kicked for one reason or another, ETS, or retirement.

If you're demoted for any reason from my understanding you will adhere to the RCP requirements for your current rank. For example SCP with 6 years demoted to PFC you will be put out for RCP because you'll be beyond the 5yr RCP for your current rank.

Ive seen it. Good soldier told he was going to be rcp'd instead of reenlisted. He went from good to dirtbag almost overnight. Became disruptive, combattive, disrespectful, accused of theft but no proof, and toxic to good soldiers. He was warned several times and as he got shorter, it became worse.
Coc finally decided to Art 15 him, put some restrictions on him and he violated them and got worse.
Finally, 120 days short, he was 'busted'. Reduced in rank, forfeiture of pay, 30 days confinement at Charlies chicken farm. There, he started fights with other soldiers and leadership. With less than 60 days to go, he was chaptered out with an OTH.
He screwed up many good years of service because he thought there was nothing anyone could do to him and he got an attitude... this was also the army of 12 years ago, who knows now, since discipline isnt what it was.
