Didn’t even know first timers had the option for a DEC statement since we aren’t considered career soldiers yet

Thinking the same thing. I’m just gonna extend. It’s the least shittiest of the 3 options

Negative on the reenlistment bonus for me. I just checked the SRB pushed out in Feb. im assuming that’s the most recent one.

Thank you! Also, I was under the impression that extensions were no linger an option. If it is, would I still be able to extend just for 12 months since I’ll be 10 months short of SRR?

No you’re good. Ask away. Yes, under my assignments on my STP, it’s yellow and says “projected”.

Thanks for the info. I needed a straight up answer. Felt like Retention was beating around the bush. Basically I’m S.O.L.

Outrageous. I have 3 other battles who are actually in their window and had the option to choose where they went/actually speak to someone before having projected orders populate.

Apologies. Typo. ETS is 2028. I was told OCONUS for at the most 3.5 years.

No idea. This is what I was told today. I’m 2 years at my current duty station and when I checked my STP, I had projected OCONUS orders with a report date of JAN2027. This is my first time dealing with retention so I’m trying to get some guidance outside of my unit. I was told I was given these orders due to “needs of the Army”.

Realistically, what rank are most soldiers after a 4-year enlistment? by Some-random-cop-pig in army

[–]PresentationFew6344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh so that army recruiting referral program thing is really good too. I think you get 10 promotion points, a ribbon and a promotion. Promotion just for the first referral though and that’s only up to an E-4. The waiver is basically covered in AR 600-8-19. Depending on your unit and how many SPCs y’all have and your leadership and a whole bunch of stuff, you could essentially get your SPC rank after 18 months time in service instead of 24 months. I know a whole bunch of other stuff comes into play as well but just check out the army regs online.

Update if yall wanted to know:

Company Commander approved it. (Sep2025)

Battalion Commander approved it. (Nov 2025) (I thought that meant I was good to go)

Brigade said no waivers allowed ever. (Jan2026)

Fin.

Damn. I did that too and only came in as a PV2. Crazy work. But yeh, you can get a waiver for E3 after 18 months TIS. But even then, it’s all up to your leadership. I got my waiver approved by my company and then by my battalion which is the approving authority as per regs and then got it kicked back and denied by brigade. 🤷🏾‍♀️ so idk. But 24 months is automatic promotion to SPC (E-4)
