I received a chapter 9 for 2 alcohol related incidents within a year. From what I've read its unheard of to return to active duty with this reenlistment code. Im wondering if going ROTC and commissioning into the guard to later transfer to active is a possibility. My understanding is the guard has more leeway with regards to waivers. Any other information is appreciated.

PFC Swan, I'll be honest with you. The Chapter 9 and RE code are not the problems - the alcohol is. Take care of that first then consider your options.

I believe an RE code of 4 is non waiverable, it usually means you have a medical condition that disqualifies you from service

RE Code 4 can be for a lot of things. The separation code and narrative reason on the DD214 will explain it.

yes it can mean a lot of things, but the majority of those codes that I came across was due to medical issues, hence I said usually 8 )

Thank you for the clarification of the RE code. Couldn't understand why I got that because I never got into any trouble, no NJP never written up for anything since boot. Even then wasn't serious I had forgotten one of my general orders which I fully learned after that.

PFC Zach Swan there is a option, you can go to the Armys bureau of records and have that upgraded even if you can do that I don't know if that would suffice enough to get you into rotc because it might be in your service records you might have to really prove that alcohol is no longer a issue. Like in abstinence. Otherwise they won't even consider you. Rotc is a big investment for them and they are not going to invest if they think that you could be a liability. It will stem on your ability to perform your duties to their satisfaction.

I received that same r-e code. I was told during my time r-e 5 they wouldn't even consider you but a 4 could be doable but difficult.
