if the entire ground path of the circuit is more than six feet - armored sheath may not be used for ground. Same goes for greenfield.

Read your code rules Bill.

You can't namby pamby run intermittant equipment grounding conductors and/or start BONDING conduit for equipment grounding on only part of a branch circuit. You start the process you have to finish it throughout the entire circuit and debatebly throughout the entire service. It is NOT maintenance and you lose any grandfathered issue once you start.
