Was the ETP on extended retention control points renewed and how does that effect soldiers over time in service?

There was an extension approved last year around June but stated was only in effect for 12 months. Have not heard anything since. If a soldier is over rcp, had signed etp, but the extension expires, what does that mean. Do the limits revert and they are out? Anyone heard anything?

I am not finding anything stating that the ETP was renewed. If I were a betting person, I would gather that once the 12 months is over....the SM either better be/get promoted or get ready to leave service. But, I would contact the Career Counselor to get clearer guidance.

The extension to the RCP issued back in July 2022 was superseded by MILPER 22-394 issued on 26 SEP 22 which extends the timeframe until 30 SEP 23.

Per the message, a Soldier must initiate the request to serve to the higher RCP, otherwise the standard RCP will remain.
