Are Soldiers currently enrolled in the ASAP program allowed to reenlist?

In the context of the Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP), Soldiers who are currently enrolled in this program are generally not permitted to reenlist. This policy is in place to ensure that individuals who may be facing substance abuse issues receive the necessary support and treatment before being allowed to make long-term commitments to their military careers. While they may have the option to extend their current enlistment, this does not constitute a reenlistment into a new term of service, which requires a clean record in terms of substance use for approval.

It's important to understand that the focus of the ASAP is on rehabilitation and support, which takes precedence over retention activities like reenlistment. By allowing extensions but not reenlistments, the policy encourages Soldiers to complete their treatment successfully before committing to further service.
