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?

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 SSG Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:38:47 -0400 2016-07-07T21:38:47-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-ets-in-november-but-my-rcp-is-in-october-will-i-ets-as-normal-or-will-i-rcp?n=1869415&urlhash=1869415 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>.
