I have 4 years in the Army, 3 in the Coast guard. I had just signed my paper work to reenlist and 2 days later (this Thurs) I get a phone call that everyone attempting to re-up is being blocked ( fy 2014 ets as per a new ALARACT message). If my NCOER's were pulled and ERB was pulled there would be no way that I would not be asked to re-up, especially when we are getting rid of the substandard performers, and those that have had administrative/or punitive actions. Advice from any SME's?

SGT Rashkovsky,<br><br>Did you verify this new ALARACT message?<br><br>The reason I ask is, retention opportunity/eligibility information does not come out through ALARACT or MILPER messages; it comes out through retention policy messages through the RETAIN system...I didn't see anything that cam out in the last few weeks.

<p>It is all from the sequestrian and the recent govt shutdown, every will pass after the new year, and with a new budget that has passed both houses of Congress, it should make it through the WH before xmas, and a lot of things will be back on track for the most part. Just ride it out for now.</p><p><br></p><p>Good luck and have a happy holidays for you and your family.</p>

<p>I looked at all of the ALARACT (All Army Activities) Messages on AKO and did not see a single one dealing with limitations on retention. I only looked back to 1 Oct 2013 which is the start of the fiscal year...</p><p> </p><p>REF: https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/550282</p>
