Made me look at my DD-214 my code is RE-3F anyone tell me what my chances are?

[jinelson]

The best thing to do is speak to a recruiter and bring your DD-214 he will most likely get you in touch with a prior service recruiter. From what I have heard and read many are waivable and can also be upgraded through the complaint process. Here's a link that may help you;

Are Administrative Separation Codes and Reenlistment Codes the same?





No. Administrative Separation Codes are used to represent the reason the service member is leaving the military service, i.e., 213, Discharge for retirement as an officer. For more information about discharge or separation from Naval service, see Administrative Separations, on this website.



The reenlistment codes represent an enlisted member's ability to return to military service, i.e., RE-1, fully qualified for reenlistment versus RE-4, ineligible for reenlistment.

How do I change a reenlistment code?

You must first submit your request to change a reenlistment code to BUPERS (PERS-254).

Following a response from BUPERS and depending on how long you have been discharged from the Naval service, submit a request to change the RE code by writing to the Board for Correction of Naval Records.

More about BCNR on this website.

I'm 60 and willing. I've got a real quick first step and I don't need a whole lot to sustain (1 six pack and some BBQ'd ribs). I don't know if that's good enought to get into any service but I'm game.
Good luck Devildog and anyone else who wants to contribute. Go for it.

just give me orders for iraq and i'll even provide my own 782 gear and m-16s (have two).

For a medical discharge, you would need to get a waiver that states your disability will not effect your ability to maintain PFT scores or you are fit for duty. Also, if you had recieved seperation pay you can never re enlist.

[VaMarine]

As well the 3F will most likely not let you re-enlist either due to it basically meaning you lied on your previous enlistment.. .

[jryanjack]

What's the difference between a RE-1 and RE-1A?

[VaMarine]

from my understanding.. nothing...

I was honorably discharged in 2000 with a RE-3C. One week after receiving the RE-3C, they mailed a NAM to my mom's house for my work as the Battalion Safety NCO. The stated reason for my sh**ty re-code was getting 3 NJPs (2 battalion level) during the first 13 months of my enlistment. I got busted down but still managed to pick up E-4 before I was discharged. I ran a 1st class PFT, always qualified at the range, and won a NAM. However, I still got hit for getting into trouble during the initial part of my enlistment. I want to reenlist (I was turned down from being an officer earlier this year b/c of my re-code) but I have to finish up this last year of law school. I'm still in great shape physically but will turn 30 in Feb 07 right before I graduate law school. What are the chances of me going back in enlisted?

From my understaning, unless you can get it upgraded, a '4' is an absolute death sentence to any re-enlistment possiblities...like I said UNLESS you can get it upgraded. It will be hard enough for me to get around my '3' but a '4' is next to impossible. My advice, and what I would have done had I known how important it was at the time was FIGHT the RE-Code tooth and nail...don't sign anything consenting to it. If your service is honorable then you have some leverage...don't give in.
