Will I be promoted after I go to the board and make cutoff with the code 9G on my ERB?

Your re-enlistment code will not stop you from getting promoted. Your rcp will change once you get promoted and your code should change.

SPC McBride,

your post ticks me off because it make me believe you are not getting the proper counseling and mentorship. I understand I do not know your entire situation however, it really makes me want to know what your event oriented (retention & promotion counseling) look like?

You, your Squad Leader/Platoon Sergeant needs to discuss your situation with the retention NCO. RCP for SPC is 8 years time in service regardless if you are promotable or not. Your retention and promotion counseling covers these things and helps you make an informed decision which concerns you AND your family.

Good morning all. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and I have a Soldier who currently has a 9G code (bar to re-enlist). He is a CPL. Early on in his career, he did some dumb stuff and was demoted from SGT to PFC. He has since been promoted to CPL and is on his 3rd deployment. He has grown up and matured but he is concerned if the 9G code will bar him from joining the National Guard or Army Reserves. Can anyone shed some light on this? Even though the Soldier can no longer re-enlist on Active Duty, can he join the National Guard or Army Reserves? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
