I have an RE4 and was discharged GUH from the navy. I went off base without signing out but slacked off a lot during my time in, but I’m two years older now and I miss it with all my heart. I want back in. Someone please help

I really wish that those who haven’t got any clue wtf their talking about would keep their negative comments to their self. It is demoralizing and completely false, oh and no congressional review required it almost looks like those comments are to poke fun at one of our own. So this is what it’s come to kick your bud when he’s down? Toxic leadership weakens the security of our great nation. Get a clue unbelievable

Don’t let your desire to serve again die easy. Write to people in high places (President, Secdef, SecNav, and Senate Armed Services Commitee, etc..) They need to be aware that there are vets out there that made mistakes during service and might have less than honorable discharges, but otherwise still have potential to restore their honor and provide quality to the services. DON’T QUIT, and don’t accept no as an answer if it’s something you truly want a second chance at.

Not in this life time- we throw out 25K non-deployables in the Army this year.

Not going to happen, sorry. Former recruiter. RE4 requires a congressional review and upgrade that almost never happens and if you get lucky, there’s no guarantee you will get a waiver by the Navy and/or MEPS to be able to join.
Good luck

AA (Join to see) the general answer is find the recruiter of the branch you want to come back to. Changing the RE code is much more difficult, and a waiver may be easier.

I tried that shortly after I was separated, but they rarely rarely waive it. What I’ve found out so far is that you need to go higher up than a waiver

AA (Join to see) correct. Some particular DoD office. I can't remember which. Am on the road, or else I'd look it up for you.

RE Codes are NOT, NOT, NOT, changed to permit reenlistment.
RE Codes are changed ONLY when an error was made. So, if the type of separation received came with an RE 4, you have an RE 4.
You will receive a waiver, or not.
