A friend of mine re enlisted about 1 year ago and in her contract she gets one semester of school. He NCO won't let her take the semester. Does anyone know her rights when it comes to this situation? How long before it expires (if it does)? If she PCS's will she still have her school option? And please give the regulation so we have something solid to take to the First Sergeant. Thanks

If your friend has it WRITTEN in her contract, then that is a legal, binding contract between her and the Army. If she feels that this is a problem, she can take it to her company commander, a JAG lawyer. Also, have her take it back to the reenlistment NCO. Also, is your friend FLAGED and/or has a bar? The school option normal has a provision about keeping your actions in a favorable status. Have her look at the local reenlistment regs (the ones posted by the post commander).

Go to www.usapa.army.mil and check out the 621 series regs regarding education. It may take some searching but what she may be looking for might be in there. I would talk to the guy who reenlisted her and see what he has to say regarding what reg allows her to have this benefit and when she is supposed to get it. If she thinks she is being unfairly singled out or for some reason then she needs to get her info together and call the Inspector General Office. If she is deploying then all bets are off and when she gets back she will be able to get out on a breach of contract if the Army cannot fulfill this contract at a later date. I've seen this happen. Of course if it is a local "drug deal" she worked out with her unit then she may just have to suck it up. Of course if it is in her contract then it is guaranteed.

This provision is not in any regulatory guidance. It is a local reenlistment incentive. She will have to take this up with her company commander. Use the Commander's open door policy. Her NCO can not prevent her from speaking to him or her.

Not gonna happen. Now you might reenlist and then deploy before school and have the school pushed till after the deployment But you cannot schedule it that way.

Your friend fell into one of the most common traps. This all depends on the units policy concerning this "benefit". The units I've seen pervert it far beyond its intent. They get to hide behind "needs of the army" and there isn't squat you can do about it. Once she PCSes, it will no longer exist.

It doesn't matter now. Recruiters lie. Backdoor draft. War on Terror. Regulations are over.
