Are the COVID-19 short term extensions still available?

I am just wondering if the COVID extensions which allowed you to extend for 3-11 months, that were made during March I think, are still a thing. I have been searching and I can't seem to find any new information about it being available or if it's no longer an option.

- Thanks

Did you asked your Career Counselor? Honestly, 3-11 months extention? Just go and reenlist for at least 3 years!

Yes but there are new restrictions this fiscal year. The original ones were to help people because COVID hit out of nowhere and disrupted everything. COVID has been with us nine months now so at this point its just a poor planning issue.

The new COVID extension guidelines are that you must extend at least 6 months and your new ETS must take you into the next fiscal year. If course, as before, you must be within six months of ETS already
