Lost security clearance because they said that I had bad credit. I had re enlisted for 5 more years at my second duty station. But then they told me I was out. I desperately need to get back in on active duty. I miss it. And I felt I had a real purpose in life. I need some help getting my code upgraded. I was not a bad or anything. Please help you guys and gals. Thanks

NO. You have to get the discharge upgraded through the board of Corrections of Military Records.

I also have an RE4 honorable discharge from 23 years ago. I am a registered nurse now and would like to find out if there is any way possible of getting this changed. I was in the Navy, I told them I was doing drugs, and they let me out....unfortunately I had no idea what would happen in my future and that I would want to go back in. Any advice is welcome. P.S. I never had a positive drug test, there was never proof that said I was actually doing drugs, because I wasnt.

I am in the same boat. I have an Honorable discharge from 33 years ago and got an re4 because I did test positive for marijuana. I am almost 56 now and made a few mistakes when I was very young. I have not even had a cigarette since my mid twenties and just want to clear my record. I have been an outstanding US citizen since. Obviously I am too old to re-enlist and I am trying to get the benefits I worked very hard for.

I got an Re-4/JMJ Honorable/e-5 almost five years active while in the midst of a contract dispute with the Navy resulting in my submitting an 1150 complaint against CNMPC. Although the separation was a direct result of my complaint, Navy JAG told me after discharge although my complaint was valid, my separation was unconnected and therefore my complaint moot.

Since I wrote this I have received full VA benefits. I found out that you can not disallow someone their benefits, if they served long enough, because of a positive test. Btw I Never admitted any guilt.

I can tell you that, an appeal to the Board for Correction of Naval Records is doable but the chances are slim.
