Who is ineligible for R-CAP?

The correct answer highlights a specific restriction within the Recruiter Accession Program (R-CAP): individuals who have previously advanced under R-CAP or the Recruiting Enlisted Incentive Program (REIP) are not eligible to participate again. This means that once someone has taken advantage of these programs and has been promoted through them, they are not allowed to reapply for the same benefit. This is a policy designed to ensure that the programs are not continually accessed by the same individuals, maintaining opportunities for a broader range of eligible candidates.

In the context of this question, individuals over 39 years old, enlisted personnel only, or those with prior criminal records may have different eligibility criteria but are not automatically disqualified by their previous participation in R-CAP or REIP. This specificity helps clarify the purpose of eligibility restrictions in recruitment programs, as they intend to promote fairness and a diverse pool of new recruits.
