<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m a bit confused here. He&#39;s been in 7 years and he&#39;s been a PFC this entire time? <br />Is ASAP failure Army Substance Abuse Program failure? <br />I know of no program that would allow a PFC to stay in for 7 years let alone receive money from the army for ASAP failure.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>RCP money for being a PFC at 7 years is the least of his worries. Your friend is looking at an OTH discharge and loss of benefits. And to (possibly) receive RCP pay, SMs must meet these requirements:<br /><br />Full Pay - To qualify for full pay, the member must be involuntarily separated, be fully qualified for retention and the service must be characterized as &quot;Honorable.&quot; Examples would be separation due to reduction in force, or separation due to exceeding the high year of tenure.<br /><br />Half Pay - To qualify for half pay, the member must be involuntarily separated, with service characterized as Honorable or General (under honorable conditions), and the reason for discharge must be under certain categories. Examples would be discharge due to failing fitness/weight standards or involuntary discharge due to parenthood.<br /><br />So....again, not getting RCP pay is the least of the concerns your friend is facing.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your friend shouldn&#39;t be getting chaptered for ASAP failure, he should have had his ETS adjusted to 180 days from his reduction. Then he would be required to join the Reserves for three years to be eligible for full separation pay.<br />The different types and eligibility are in AR 637-2
