I got out and finished the rest of my time in the IRR. My IRR time was complete at 7 years and 6 months. I recently came back in the Army and I picked up where I left off at as an E4. And they counted my IRR time as time in service. So I have 7 years in service right now and 8 years time in grade since I got my E4 in 2011. So in 6 months I will hit 8 years in service. So if I am still an E4 in 6 months will I get kicked out even though I just cane back in and my IRR time was counted to my years in service in grade?

You have two service dates. Your BASD will have been adjusted to 4 years prior to returning, that&#39;s what your RCP will be based off of. Your PEBD is the date your pay is based off of.<br />Also, the way RCP works is that you can&#39;t reenlist past your RCP, you don&#39;t get kicked out for it. If you are reduced in rank and you are past the RCP of your new rank, then you would be separated 6 months after you were reduced.
