SGT Private RallyPoint Member 1468 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have 4 years in the Army, 3 in the Coast guard. I had just signed my paper work to reenlist and 2 days later (this Thurs) I get a phone call that everyone attempting to re-up is being blocked ( fy 2014 ets as per a new ALARACT  message). If my NCOER&#39;s were pulled and ERB was pulled there would be no way that I would not be asked to re-up, especially when we are getting rid of the substandard performers, and those that have had administrative/or punitive actions. Advice from any SME&#39;s? Retention Control Points FY 2014 ETS BLOCKED FROM REENLISTMENT? 2013-10-26T00:52:29-04:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 1468 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have 4 years in the Army, 3 in the Coast guard.

Just ride it out for now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good luck and have a happy holidays for you and your family.&lt;/p&gt; Response by SFC James Baber made Dec 18 at 2013 7:05 PM 2013-12-18T19:05:44-05:00 2013-12-18T19:05:44-05:00 SGM Matthew Quick 23532 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT Rashkovsky,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did you verify this new ALARACT message?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The reason I ask is, retention opportunity/eligibility information does not come out through ALARACT or MILPER messages; it comes out through retention policy messages through the RETAIN system...I didn&#39;t see anything that cam out in the last few weeks.

If I don&#39;t re-up then I can&#39;t deploy and I would be mad but I am pretty sure that wouldn&#39;t compare to some other individuals about me not being able to deploy.
