Is retention code 9C being used to ensure we are keeping the best of the best?

According to http://www.armyreenlistment.com it is for "Denied Retention by SA – Commander Quality (restricted to fully qualified Soldiers “IMREPR 10” who requested and were denied reenlistment by the O-6 Commander)". I would assume that is to separate the wheat from the chaff.

IMREPR Code (formerly ERUP)

Correct and accurate IMREPR codes not only affect retention; they also affect reclassification, reassignments, promotions, awards and decorations, attendance at civil or military schooling, retirement and family member travel to overseas commands.

I do not believe we use it enough! While we want to keep the very best and we all claim that we do, too many times leadership will look for reasons not to be the bad guy when their name is on the line to call the shot.

Even though I am a little late to this discussion, At this time the ARMY has and always will only have ten percenters giving a 100% of themselves and the other 90 % just getting by. This has been a problem in the ARMY for more years then just yesterday. The ARMY just keeps going around in a circle. Even with that being said to me The ARMY is the best. It was my only hobby for 23.5 years. HOOAH.
