How can I extend past my ETS date for the purpose of gaining back my rank?

Last may, I received an Article 15, and got reduced from SPC to PV2. I have been in the Army since 23 FEB 2015. My DEROS date is 14 JAN 2019, and my ETS is 16 JAN 2019. I have read into AR 601-280 but I’m having a hard time understanding what is a justified cause to extend past my ETS. I only have to extend enough time to get back to SPC. I was told that under normal circumstances, I could have re-enlisted as a PFC, but I will not be able to because of the 5 year RCP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This isn’t a career I’m ready to give up. Thanks

Go and talk to your assigned career counselor, they will be able to tell you what you need to do if it is possible to extend your contract.

You'll have to convince your chain of command that retaining you is in the best interests of the Army. Have you transformed from an under-performing soldier to a stellar troop?

As odd as it may sound, I believe I was a decent soldier before. I got caught up in some bad stuff but it has done nothing but make me want to progress and succeed in this career more than anything. I’m just running out of time to make it all happen
