But DO NOT, take it for granted! Most branches will take your last period of service. So, go GUARD pull your head out of where it is and do the right thing.Response by MSG Randy Rucker made Sep 13 at 2018 7:51 PM2018-09-13T19:51:19-04:002018-09-13T19:51:19-04:00SGM Bill Frazer3962675<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>1. Your opinion of the matter doesn't matter. 2. 1st Offense- 15th offense- UCMJ does not differentiate-You can be punished just as hard for 1 as you could the 3rd. 3. It takes a large chunk of the Command to discharge you, not just 1 or 2 officers. 4. You see a recruiter- see if you are eligible for a waiver or not and go from there.Response by SGM Bill Frazer made Sep 13 at 2018 11:05 PM2018-09-13T23:05:33-04:002018-09-13T23:05:33-04:001SG Timothy Trewin3963763<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Honestly you need to appeal to your branch to get your RE-4 waived. If not you are pretty much screwed as I don't think anyone will even entertain you with that code. You can talk to a recruiter as it doesn't hurt, but honestly don't get your hopes up. It takes a lot to get out on a RE-4 code so there might be more to the story than you are saying.Response by 1SG Timothy Trewin made Sep 14 at 2018 11:47 AM2018-09-14T11:47:47-04:002018-09-14T11:47:47-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member4016336<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If an involuntary separation you will be ineligible for a waiver.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 3 at 2018 4:47 PM2018-10-03T16:47:19-04:002018-10-03T16:47:19-04:00SPC Anitra Bailey-Bearfield6300383<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Usually with re4 code, there is no changing it, it bars you from reentering the military and getting it changed it even harder and most times they will not change it. You can appeal to review board but the likihood of getting it changed is 0 to none, you can get attorney that specialize military law to see what they can do for you. Good luck I hope it works out for you.Response by SPC Anitra Bailey-Bearfield made Sep 11 at 2020 9:29 AM2020-09-11T09:29:55-04:002020-09-11T09:29:55-04:00Cpl Vic Burk7662375<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What's the rest of the story on why you got the code?. Did you get a court-martial? That is the only reason I could see you getting a RE-4 for a first offense. If you did, I could see that code being assigned as they threw you out in which case you chances of getting it change are extremely slim to none. Kind of like winning the lottery, little to none.Response by Cpl Vic Burk made May 6 at 2022 10:58 AM2022-05-06T10:58:38-04:002022-05-06T10:58:38-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member7662630<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A waiver for an RE4 is possible but not guaranteed. There are deciding factors the military will take into consideration, strength being one, the need for your specialty is another. The big one, however, is your SPD code. The RE is not necessarily the biggest hurdle requiring the waiver to reenlist. Your SPD code is. If the SPD is non waivable, there is no option beyond that. You need to speak to a recruiter. You can appeal your RE code, but if your SPD code is not waivable your RE code being upgraded will not matter.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made May 6 at 2022 12:55 PM2022-05-06T12:55:22-04:002022-05-06T12:55:22-04:002018-09-13T17:22:29-04:00
