Given that the retention control point (RCP) is so close to my ETS, would I still separate as normal? Or would my separation happen involuntarily due to RCP? If I ETS in November, but my RCP is in October, will I ETS as normal, or will I RCP? 2016-07-07T21:26:48-04:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 1698178 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My ETS is NOV 2017, but I will have been an E-4 with 8 years' service on 5 OCT 2017.

Per the current guidance in regards to RCP you are in a sense grandfathered in. The clause says that you will be ineligible for reenlistment but can still finish your contract.<br /><br />reference ALARACT 026/14 Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 7 at 2016 9:38 PM 2016-07-07T21:38:47-04:00 2016-07-07T21:38:47-04:00 PFC Private RallyPoint Member 1869415 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>.
