Question
I am an E-5(P) (prior service) with 18 1/4 yrs in June 2011. I have been told that i am part of the exemptions that are allowed. Is this correct?

Answer
I don't see where you are exempt from the RCPs as set forth in the ALARACT.  You'd need to contact your personnel office to see why they'd say that.  If you are in an MOS that is maxxed on points and its difficult to get promoted you can apply for an exception to policy, but if you're just not getting promoted because you're not, then it doesn't appear you're exempt.

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
