Is it a lost cause to try to get back into the Navy, if they gave me an RE-4?

I mean I understand that an RE4 is no re-entry. However, what if I proved what the doctor said was inaccurate. Would the board reconsider an appeal to upgrade my separation code and RE code? I was uncharacterized discharged because I only served 170 days.

It really depends on what your 3 letter code along with the RE-4 is. If it’s a behavioral health issue, you may as well not even try.

From SECNAV
"The purpose of the Naval Discharge Review Board (NDRB) is to review and determine whether a service member's discharge was granted in a proper manner and was fair and equitable considering the regulations in effect at the time of the discharge. The NDRB has no authority to upgrade a discharge for the sole purpose of enhancing reenlistment opportunities. An unfavorable "RE-CODE" is, in itself, not a bar to reenlistment. A request for a waiver can be submitted during the processing of a formal application for reenlistment through a recruiter."
That coupled with this below
"INELIGIBLE TO REENLIST WAIVERS NOT AUTHORIZED AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED NAVY & USCG RE-2, RE-3A, RE-3C, RE-4 (Note 1)"
Note one is "Note 1: Prior service applicants issued a Reenlistment code of RE-4 (or equivalent) upon separation, solely for homosexual conduct may be eligible for re-enlistment/enlistment. (Note: Member's record must be reviewed to assure the sole supported reason for processing was for Homosexual Act(s), Conduct, or Marriage). The following applies:
Eligibility Requirements.
Applicant's prior service DD 214 (most recent) must reflect a narrative reason of Homosexual Act, Homosexual Conduct, or Homosexual Marriage in block 28.
One of the following Separation Codes (SPD) must be in block 26: GRA, GRB, GRC, HRA, HRB, or HRC.
Character of Service must be Honorable (no other misconduct was a basis for their discharge).
Processing Procedures.
Prior service applicants that meet the eligibility criteria listed in item one of this note may be accepted for further processing. All prior service applications accepted for enlistment/reenlistment with an RE-4 (or equivalent) due to homosexual conduct will be processed as any RE-code listed in the chart above labeled "Eligible to Enlist" with just an enlistment eligibility (rate and pay grade) determination (not an RE-Code waiver).
Seems there is only one waverable RE code 4 option, if it applies, go see a recruiter
