To reenlist as prior service, do I have to disclose an article 15 that I was given if my DD214 says I have no bars to reenlisting?

I received a FG article 15 while on active duty. I was able to finish my contract and got out with an Honorable discharge and an RE code of 1. My question is, do I have to disclose the article 15 given that my DD214 says I've got no bars from re enlisting?

All that matters is the Honorable Discharge and RE-1 stated on your 214. If you wanna tell the recruiter, that's your call.

RE-1 eligible to re-enlist, no waiver required. You only have to mention it for your security clearance.

You don't with an RE-1. Having said that, you have now already disclosed it to anyone who might look hard enough.

You can brag about it if you want to, it won't change anything.

It is also highly possible that your command did not iPERM it into your permanent record.

Nope. You list what is asked for on the forms and that is it. If it is not listed anywhere, then do not worry about it. Unless it was field grade it vanishes into the aether when you pcs/ets
