| <uconndogg> |
Folks, this is becoming quite a trend on the boards and I feel that this needs to be a highlighted topic. Many of the PS people seem confused about thier RE Codes or SJC codes. For your answers, please follow these directions. Go to WWW.About.com and type in Military RE Codes. Then you will find a list of all the branches of the service, click on your respective branch that you served. Once you have clicked that link, you are brought to another page, here you can read all about your service and RE codes. Off to the right hand side there are more links, one says something along the lines of Alphabetic SJN codes, this is also SJC codes like JMX or JTR. http://search.about.com/fullsearch.htm?terms=military%20re%20codes You should be able to find all your answer here. Understand that most recruiters that come here are not here during duty hours, they are here on thier off time and don't have a set of regulations at thier homes. For us to get the answers we have to do searches ourselves at sites like about.com. Now you have the intell, you can get that info for yourselves. Thanks Uconndogg SSgt Tabury USAF Recruiter and Moderator | ||

I separated from the active navy under the SSB program back in 1992 with a RE-3Z, could not find it with the web site you provided. Do you know what it means ? | |||
|
| <uconndogg> |
Your right, its not there. Sorry , don't know that one, you would have to contact your nearest Navy Rep about that one. They have an exstensive book in thier office that might have it . About.com doesn't have all the answer ! LOL SSgt Tabury USAF Recruiter and Moderator | ||

I have been talking to a recruiter for the last 4 days. I was in a Army Reserve unit which was disbanded and the REDD report or whatever it was stated that my RE code was ZZ. What in the heck does that mean? I have contacted NARA and to request all my paperwork that was in a fire some years ago will take aprox. 6 to 8 Months to process to completion. Is there a faster way to go about getting all of that and to find out what exactly what my RE status is? Jon B What to server again for the needs of our country | |||
|
| <uconndogg> |
Never heard of it, this is one for your recruiter to do the leg work on. No faster way to get your papers, sorry. SSgt Tabury USAF Reserve Recruiter and Moderator | ||

The odd thing is there are 3 of us in the same boat with that RE Code. We all was in the same AR unit that disbanded and now the recuiter cant get in touch with anyone to find out. Man I didnt expect to jump through hops to re-enlist again. Jon B | |||

357- According to the updated AR 601-210... RE-3Z: "RECEIVED SPECIAL SEPARATION BENEFIT." FULLY QUALIFIED FOR USAR ENLISTMENT AS LONG AS SSB/VSI STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING IS COMPLETED AT TIME OF ENLISTMENT. ALSO REQUIRES A 368 RELEASE FROM THE NAVY CONTROL GROUP. Hope this clears up your question. | |||

I have an RE code of 1 why doesnt the Air FOrce want me I get the story we are not taking Prior service maybe if the Air Force got rid of some of those dead beats like my 2 sister-in-laws some good troops could get in again!!! | |||
|
| <uconndogg> |
Sorry, understood and we like that you want to come back, thank you . However, you can't make the call, that has to come from within, apparently they don't think they are dead beats, as you put it. The Reserve is still taking folks, have you thought about coming back until the window opens back up and then try to get back in from the Reserve side ? Sincerely, SSgt Tabury USAF Reserve Recruiter and Moderator | ||

Where is the RE code located? | |||
|
| <uconndogg> |
On your DD 214/Discharge or Seperation Paperwork. Should only find it on the long form, not the short version. Down torward the bottom. SSgt Tabury, Former USAF Active Duty Recruiter and Military.com Moderator | ||

In 1994 I enlisted in Army DEP. Over the course of my senior year, I decided I wanted a different path. When I got to basic, I started processing out in the 3rd week. I received an RE-3 JGA. Now, I'm 27, and have built a successful career and my own business as well as raising a family. I want the chance to serve, and am applying to the Navy Reserves. I am just curious as to the chances of getting in, since I have to have a waiver. I'm embarrassed about my RE-3, as I look back often and think how unlike me it was to quit something. However, I realize that I was 17 when I made the decision, and I've obviously come along way since then. Anyone know the likelyhood of being accepted? Thanks! | |||

I gave the navy guys a day to answer. For the Army you can get back in. | |||

Highly Experienced Member |
evinh, Yes it is possible to get in to the Navy Reserve. Just call your local recruiter. | |||
|
| New Member |
Shipmate, You can get back into the Navy with an RE-3. Talk to your recruiter. They can get a waiver from the recruiting district CO. | |||
|
| New Member |
The code you should be looking for is on the bottom of the 214 on the right side. The codes identify the type of discharge you received and each service accepts different codes. Codes may reflect medical discharges for various reasons, discharges for unlawful acts, inability to adjust to military lifestyles, and honorable discharges. In fact, there are up to 4 single base codes(i digit) with many attachments to each base code. You must provide your original DD Form 214 (long version) to your recruiter before they can determine your eligibility. Your recruiter should know where you can submit for another form if you lost or misplaced it, although the process may take 6-8 months to receive. | |||

i got sep with a re4b from the corp in feb of 2000 is there any way to get back in | |||
|
| New Member |
I was seperated from the Air Force. My sep code is JFX and the RE code is 2c. I have gotten over the problems I recently had. Through a bit of family counseling and I feel that I am ready to be in the military again. Is it possible for me to join another branch of service?? | |||

I know this has been asked to death, but frankly I want to make sure. When I graduated college I joined the Army with OCS as my MOS. All good, here's the problem- my recruiter put my age down as being 23- I was 19 (yeah, I graduated early). I was discharged from basic and on my record it says "Disciplane problem" or something of that nature (I think it was a type 3 JGA). Anyway since then I've been in the Peace corps (Honorary discharge), and now work in Korea. None of that really matters, but it shows I've got some responsibillity, right? Is there anyway I can get into any branch? Who do I write? What do I do? By the way, I currently live in Seoul, Soth Korea. | |||

If you do manage to get back in the Army as an officer, make sure they don't put you in intel or any other field that needs a TS clearance. With prior Peace Corps you won't be able to get a top secret clearance. We had an intel officer that was former peace corps (obviously someone didn't read the regs when they detailed him to intel) and ended up have to discharge him. | |||
|
| New Member |
Will do, thanks. But the forst step is getting back in. | |||

Demonicat, Shouldn't be too hard based on all of Voodoo's post. Head to the Army's recruiting website and you should be able to contact them via email or directly during their online hours. They should have a recruiter in Japan or at least Guam that should be able to help you out. | |||
|

Thanks guys, I'm heading over to the website now. | |||

I'm sorry, which post by Voodoo, he has been quite prolific. | |||
|
| Highly Experienced Member |
In most of his post he claims that approval for waivers are very easily obtained for Army OCS and that selection for fully qualified applicants is 100%. I wasn't referring to any of his specific posts just his general message. | |||

| New Member |
Thanks, now I'll just wait for a recruiter to contact me then. | |||

I got out of the Marines in 97 for mild knee pain. Sounds stupid but back then partying was more important than the military. Since then I'am Married with 2 kids. I tried all the services but the Army was the only one willing to work with me. I got a letter from an orthopedic surgeon stating that I was good to go and from there waited 2 weeks for a waiver and got in to the Active Army. The whole process took 2 months. Dont listen to anybody that says it cant be done | |||

I am looking to re-enlist into the Army I had 4 years in and seperated with a sep code of MGH(warrant officer school??????) and reentry code of 3. I requested this so I did not get into trouble about finances at that time. I have a family and 3 children. I was an E-4 when I exited in 1996. Is that sep code wrong? Is reenlistment really still an opption? | |||

quote:I understand where your coming from, but when a Recruiter says its a no go, then its is a no. Sorry Uconndogg my past experience has been that recruiters w/no quota for P/S applicants are sometimes not as knowledgeable (or current) as they should be & may mislead applicants. Depending on the service P/S (The needs of the service dictate along w/job codes(PAFC or MOS) at the current time & what the service needs are. EX: I left the Navy in Mar/1965 as a E-6 (MM1) The USAF came & contacted me (My Navy rank qualified me for enlistment,I crosse over as Tsgt (E6)in Sep/1965 (Rank for Rank). I lost no rank only some time (6 mths)& a delayed Re-Enlistment bonus. Of course that during the height of the Vietnam war (1965) Today I'm sure I could not cross over under the sane conditions. But if you check out my info I served the USAF well. Bott line if a prior-service applicant wants to come back regardles of service, the recruiter has a obligation to reseach all avenues of enlistment,even if P/S is not a pirority & their is no quota for a prior service applicant (P/S) | |||
|
| Highly Experienced Member |
sgtjr, If a prior service person has a bad RE code then the recruiters know this and understand the person has no chance. While certain RE-3 codes may be waiverable some, such as RE4, are usually not waiverable and it would be a waste of the recruiter and the applicant's time to even try. I say usually becuase there are some unique situations that an RE4 can be waived. Usually if a recruiter feels an applicant has a good shot they will call the appropriate folks at HQ to find out more info. | |||

Good point RE code should be re-enlistment eligible, otherwise it is a waste of time. | |||

I have a non related question. I got disqualified on an ortho consult at meps. The doctor said he could dislocate my shoulder and it was unstable. I was discharged from basic in March 2002 because I had missed too many training days from a profile and did not want to recycle at that time. They gave me a RE code of 3 with a waiver and not a physical disability. Since 2002, I have taught and competed in martial arts, weight train at a local gym, and worked in a field where I had to lift a minimum of 100lbs over my head. The Ortho doctor told me that I probably learned to do those activities in a way as not to hurt my shoulder. I even dropped and did about 30 push-ups for him, saying this is no problem and I could do about 30 more and my shoulder was not in pain, unstable, or dislocating. He told me that he would only recommend me enlisting for active duty if I have shoulder surgery and that he could do it through his office for about $1000 less than anyone else. The CMO at MEPS then told me that they do not normally approve waiver if the consult did not go well. So is it possible for me to get a second opinion at my own expense and would that help me secure a waiver? Please respond anyone who can help me with this matter. | |||
|

This doesn't apply to me, as i have a RE-1A re-enlistment code, but i was always wondering this. If I were to go back to the recruiter and not tell him i was prior service, would the military find out that i was prior when they ran my SSN? just curiousity. | |||
|
| <uconndogg> |
SgtWhite, I understand you mean well, but an obligation is not the word you should use. I am not obligated to any sort of thing beyond my regulation. There is two pretenses I would use here, one would be the term "Not in the best interest of the Air Force", this means that if I deem the person to not be in the best interest of the Air Force, I can say so and this person does not join. Second, if the regulation states that an RE-X is a no go, then its a no go. An RE 3 may be waiverable, but my regulation states that it is not up to the recruiter to inform the applicant that a situation is waiverable. However if the applicant inquires about a waiver and request one to be run, then the recruiter must help where he/she can. So if know that the AF won'd bless this sort of a waiver , do you think that I would suggest this to a person or does my regulation even allow it ? If the person requests it and I know it will not fly and only cause people to do more work and only make them spin thier wheels to include mine own, then I can call Not in the Best Interest of the service. This would be based on my training, judgement and experience, and not the current quota for applicants. Trust me on the quota thing, its not about the numbers, there is about 4-5 cases that were easy to say "Sorry you are DQ" and that would have been the end. However , now they are superior Airmen in the AF having great careers, because a recruiter spent extra hours with them instead of focusing more on fully qualified people who were easier to work and could have made his quota easier. I know you are trying to help folks out, and trust me so am I or I would not be here answering questions for the last 4+ years on my free time. But in this case, I have to say your intentions were good, but not correct. Sincerely, | ||

I have been out of the Military for one year. I have a question? I understand that with an RE-4 there is no chance for re enlistment. I was accepted by the California Army National Guard were I served for one year and recieved a favorable Re-Code to re enlist. I recieved and RE-1. The RE-4 that I have is when I was in the Marine Corp. I want to know if I can re enlist with my new RE-Code. Dose anyone know how that would work? | |||

if you want to go active duty depends on want your job was in the air force you can do that job in the active duty in the army call me at 419-447-0791 | |||
|
| New Member |
for the active duty army we look at your last re code for active duty time not your national guard or reserve time so as for the army you still have a re 4. but, sometimes depending on what the re 4 was for you can get it replaced with a re 3 if you go though a congressman or a va rep | |||

I was discharged from the Active Army. I was given a seperation code of JRB and a RE code 4, with a Honorable discharge. I have heard several times that soldiers have recieved waivers for this. Is this true? Is there a waiver available for this? I have been working on this three years now. Any information is greatly appreciated. caliwestside2@earthlink.net | |||

AR 601-280 is Contradictive on page 9, para 3-c. and para 3-e. c states you can get a waiver, e states you cannot. | |||

I was in AF basic training and quit...characterized as a failure to adapt entry level seperation with a 2C re-entry code. My Navy recruiter said he asked MEPS in San Diego if i could get a waiver and they said no. There must be something that can be done, whether it's the navy or the army. This can't be the end of it. If Anybody has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks. | |||

| Member |
Hey 6684452, with that situation, you would have to let your recruiter know asap. This can delay you shipping especially bc of the fines that come with a speeding ticket. You cant have any dues to courts to process correctly. Talk to the recruiter and they will help you out as much as it takes to get you to ship. Thats their job. But definitely you should be curbing down on the craziness so you wont be DQ'd. Good luck, it should all work out! | |||

I am new here, so bear with me, I am looking to join the military again. I have a RE code of 3, and separation code of KFN. I dont know of any physical disability existing prior to service could that possibly mean becuase I was fat, and didnt meet the military standards? | |||

I have done the work, and found out about my RE code.. I have a RE-4, with a code of JFW. I know what it means. But I had knee problems. I was dischared from the Navy with this. The code JFW, means that I was not physical fit for the military. It has been over a year, and right now I am working on getting my code changed, any way that any branch would be wiling to work with me, or did I already mess up, by leaving with knee problem, that was not fixed yet. | |||

I am in the waiver process(re-4) and was asked to write a letter, can I get an idea of what this letter should include- or the format of it? I have already written one and have already been corrected on my first sentence. Can anyone help? | |||
|
| New Member |
i had to write a statement as well. i was to include the facts of the when, where, and why of the first brush with the military and how I'd improved myself since, ie college, jobs, responsibility, etc. i also wrote about why i wanted to re-enlist and all that jazz. needless to say, my statement was pretty long. it was effective apperently because my waiver was approved. | |||

sonjablue-hey, I'm still waiting for my 214, but there was a misunderstanding when I got booted. I was told that I was suicidal, even though I argued against it, I had to sign the papers and move on. I imagine I got an RE-4. My recruiter told me it was possible no matter what I was givem. Who are you writing this letter to? And how long did this process take for you? Thanks | |||
|
| New Member |
Basically, what you need to do is write a statement about what happened. What was the reason you got separated? How are you now? Have things changed, are you in a different state of mind? You are asking permission to come back. You need to think about why you want to come back, what kind of difference are YOU going to make in the military that you got kicked out of. Be humble. Be honest. | |||

Keep trying. See if they can get a dependancy waiver. If that does not work, contact a congressman or representative. Maybe they can do something for you that the higher up could not. | |||

I have never seen a dependency waiver get turned down. You sure it wasn't something else like law violations. | |||

my re code is JGA 3. i'm trying to get in the navy. i was in the army in 1998, didn't finish basic, i refused rehab for a minor injury, there is nothing mentioned in my separation papers about my injury, but to be on the safe side i got a letter from my doctor saying that my foot is fine. i've already taken my asvab and scored a 73 on it. now the navy recruiter is telling me that i need to take a pt test before i will even be considered for enlistment. it just seems to be one thing after another. my question is... do i need a pt test before i'm even considered for reentry, has anyone ever heard of this? what exactly will i need to do in order to obtain a waiver to go in the navy? | |||

No very true. You just keep going and see other recruiters in your state. Believe me I didn't take no for an answer and I got back into the military. Its just they don't want to deal with the extra paper work. And sometimes they are in a bind and need to reach their quota. Keep trying and don't stop | |||

Army vet, Sep code- JFL, Re code- 3. Discharged on 20 Feb 05 with 10% rating and 4 years active service for low back pain/ degenerative disc disease. I never wanted out, but chose not to fight because I was told it was futile. Back seems to have gotten better, maybe due to the time off. I can perform related physical tasks and can be cleared by my physican. How do I get back to the life I love and whats the probability? | |||

I also have an re 4 from the navy from '93. I was prior service army national guard for 6 years before I went into the navy, I have 11b, jump school, and phase 1 SFQC on my form 22 from the national guard. My unit was the 19th sf in WV. I went into the navy as prior service wanting to go to BUDs, for SEAL teams, I could enlist into their divefare program as prior service and I could enlist to any rate, but they "guaranteed" the rate of OS, operation specialists, was a source code for BUDs, meaning I could apply for BUDs at A school, pass their physical, and get orders to attend BUDs after A school. But at A school me and a few others hoping to go to BUDs were told OS wasn't a Seal source code any longer because of the downsizing. I was pushing the age limit for BUDs anyhow within 2 years, and I had orders to go to an aircraft carrier, so I attempted to go to BUDs every way anyhow first, then when I could attempted to be released from my contract based on what I was told, but of course I couldn't. So I was jus tso frustrated I got out anyway I could, so I talked to a psyche dr. and told them I couldn't conform to military life and was discharged easily. Unfortunately after the iraq war started and I wanted to re enlist into a national guard unit to go fight, I learned about the Re 4. I didn't know anything about re codes, I thought it was all about an honorable discharge. I've talked to national guard recruiters since june '04, with the 42nd infantry, 115th from mississippi, ga.'s 48th and pa.'s 28th. All sounded positive, but only Ga actually had me to the process of filling out a form 180 to request a MEPs physical. The 1st step I was told to submitting a waiver was passing a MEPs physical. But the MEPs dr. their denied the request because of the re 4. The 28th infantry recruiter was helpful but for some reason nothing could be done there. I attempted to sign up with a light infantry unit in Va. not so far away, because it seemed all the other recruiters where less likely to do a lot of paperwork or whatever for someone a few states away. The MEPS here was going to do a psyche eval here, but they said I was flagged because of Ga. MEPS denying me a physical and so they requested my medical records from the navy, which have to be requested from St. Louis and are weeks overdo. So I'm waiting for those. Considering the national guard shortages, especially with infantry, in my opinion if I can just get a MEPS, any MEPS to accept a request for the physical and psyche eval, I could pass those and I would expect a waiver, especially with a really good form 22 from the national guard itself. I also have good references, a good letter and I paid for a personal psyche eval from a private agency here in this state and passed well. The Ga. recruiter had suggested that. She also said to apply for disability based on my Navy RE4 at the Va and it would likely be denied, which is a way would show that the Va doesn't consider me to have a psyche problem, just more ammo for consideration. I also recently received that denial. Well I have the ammo for arguing for a waiver, but God willing I have to have a MEPS that will listen. But it seems like it's 1 thing after another and some MEPs are more reasonable, some more strict, ect. I've read of some RE4s being approved, some in Ca., but can't confirm that. National Guard seems to be the only branch that will even consider a waiver. That's my story. If I could I'd enlist into the regular army or marines, any way to go fight. | |||

since I don't seem to be able to edit, I wrote about the navy enlistment wrong, I could not enlist into the divefare program as prior service so I enlisted as an OS. | |||

re code 3's require a 2 year wait from ets date on dd 214 now if you dropped out of basic for whatever reason and recieved a re 3 ??? the three letters tells the recruiter what you were dishchared for good or bad depending. I have put people in the army with re 3 codes. The three letters are key here. it will require a waiver | |||

Okay then, I JUST got my 214 back and I have an re3 JWG from the Army (Nat guard, don't know if they have any of their own, but I was booted at Ft. Lnwood). So, I looked at about and everywhere else and can't find a JWG code. What the crap is it, and will it bar me from reenlistment? | |||

I had an RE-3 code with a separation code of JHJ(unsatisfactory performance). I got out in 2000 with an entry level discharge in the middle of AIT. I never got MOS qualified but because of the fact that I had over 180 days of service I had to reenlist as prior service. I will be going to the Warrior Transition Course instead of the normal 9 week BCT. I can also tell you that if you reenlist under circumstances like mine you will not be qualified for certain Mos's, bonuses and incentives. There are certain jobs that are only offered to Initial Entry recruits. My number one pick 92R(parachute rigger) happened to be one of those jobs. I was also told that I wouldn't qualify for SLRP(student loan repayment program). I didn't get any monetary bonuses but this doesnt mean that you won't. The one bonus that I did manage to get is the Montgomery GI Bill. The waiver process for me was quite long but it did teach me alot of patience. My recruiter was very cool and he was willing to work with me even though he never dealt with my kind of waiver before. I consider myself lucky to have worked with him. | |||

uconndogg, I seperated from navy 8 years ago and have been considering reelinstment. I have done the research and found that I have an Honorable Discharge with an RE 4 and a MBK (end of active service) seperation designation. After reading the posts I would just like to know what you think my chances are for reenlistment. Thank you. | |||

PVT PIMP, I have been a recruiter in 2 services, (ARMY and NAVY)so let me answer your question this way: Maybe Depends on what you got the RE-3 for.. There is no blanket YES or NO for RE-3 or 4 codes. I have put people in with both, sometimes the waiver process is LOOONG but if you want (back) in, it is worth the wait! Have you thought about the NAVAL RESERVE, I could almost bet they would give you a waiver.. How about the Army Guard?? Join the Guard and get a 368 to the ARMY Reserve....wink wink nudge nudge SHORT STORY:I had seen a guy go in the Naval Reserve APG (ADVANCED PAYGRADE PROGRAM) (KIND OF LIKE THE CASP PROG IN THE ARMY& ANG) program (NO Basic Training only a 2 week recruit "like" program at the lakes) Get a 368 to the Army Guard THEN get a 368 to the ARMY-R, talk about back doors!!!! The thing is getting the 368 signed. These two services tend to give a bit on the waivers. As I have been out for a year Some things may have changed.. Actually, I am going back in tomorrow to give another 3 years to uncle sammy.. But not as a recruiter. "Make MISSION go fishin" NOT ANYMORE! TO all recruiters on this board I truly salute YOU ALL!! THIS JOB is easily one of the HARDEST jobs/MOS's in the military Good luck | |||

I enlisted with the Army in March of last year. I completed 4 weeks of basic training before injuring my shoulder(dislocated it twice during basic), the drill sergeant told me it would be a medical discharge  ...but of course it wasnt, I received an Entry Level Seperation with an Reenlistment Eligibilty: 3 and SPD code JGA. I went back to the Army(I was told that in 6 months I could reenlist, I waited over a year to be safe) and wanted to get back in the service. Well after stringing me along for 3 weeks the recruiters finally noticed that I would have to wait 2 years from my outprocessing date to reenlist. If I have a RE-3 JGA is it possible for me to join the Navy or the Coast Guard? All I want to do is fight for my country...I shouldnt have to wade through all this bureaucratic nonsense...but such is life! Can anyone give me an idea whether any of the services will take me(except the Marines...not really interested)...I would appreciate your help! Thanks so much,-Tyler | |||

I have a quick question ... I was in the navy and never had any disiplinary problems. I failed three PRT's (physical readiness test) and when I got out I recieved an MBK in block 26 and RE-4 for it. I was wanting to get back in but I need to have my RE code changed. I know how to do all of that but last night I was doing some reading on it and found this on a previous case from someone else with a similar problem ... "If the applicant had actually received an MBK and an RE-4 on his DD 214, the codes would indeed be improperly paired under the provisions of the SPD Handbook. " This was a decision of the "BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS" is this true ... cause if it is then that means that I could have it changed to an RE-1 or at least an RE-3 to prove that I can pass the PRT now. Right?? | |||

I checked the site referenced by my question is a bit more general. My husband is in basic now is having heart problems medical has said no training until he has a cardiac work up. If they find this problem unable to clear him for training what can we expect to be the next step? | |||

Quote from xexnavy : so the navy reserves will give a wavier for re code 4 for jkq misconduct..with a general under honorable condiction I dont have an RE-4 with a jkq I have an RE-4 with an MBK which is not a misconduct and have an honorable discharge. I just talked to the navy reserve recruiters and they said absoulutly not. They said they are only taking RE-3 with waviers. From what I have read though there is a way to change the RE code to a three in my case because the MBK and RE-4 are improperly paired under the coast guard SPD handbook. My question is ... is it true? Does this SPD handbook govern all of the services the same? In other words Does that mean that the RE-4 code and MBK are truely improperly paired on my DD-214 and does that mean that I can automatically have the RE code changed cause they are? | |||

Just curious, what would happen if a person who was discharged from the navy with a RE4 during bootcamp tried to reenlist by lying? What I'm trying to say is, what if he was discharged from the navy with a re4 and then tried to enlist in the army and tells the recruiter that he was never in the military? How soon will it be before the recruiter finds out? | |||

I was active duty army from 97-2000 and was discharged with an re-3b , seperation code of JKA, character of seperation was misconnduct. An army recruiter told me as of a couple of months ago the AR601-210 was revised and listed that it is unwaiverable now for a narrative of misconnduct. I have extensevilly looked over the new AR601-210 and cannot find where it says that it is unwaiverable. It has been 5 years since I was last enlisted and made some dumb mistakes, I was discharged for bad checks in the end. I am very serious about trying to get back in any branch of service if at all possible. I have a critical MOS that is needed I do not know if that will help in the deciding factors or not I was 11Bravo (Infantry). If there is no possible way then I seek to submit paperwork for a discharge upgrade. I can get letters of recommendation from various NCO's , and CO's from my last company if that will help. If some recruiters could please give me a heads up on what options I have it would be greatly appreciated.I am located in the state of Georgia. Thanks for your time and effort on this matter. | |||

Ok quick question, ANG pulled a "Redd Response" and my "Character of Service" has a "B" in that block. What does that stand for? Could it be "General under Honorable Conditions"? or something else. The reason why I am asking is that we are waiting on my service package (sent for last Wednesday). And a message from the brass cam down thursday that the Army National Guard are not taking RE-4 no longer, but I was also told that changes like this happen all the time. but it referred to OTH (Other than honorable). If shed some light on this please let me know. #1. "Character Of Service: B" (Redd Responce) #2. How long does it take to get service package from DC, (Faxed Order sheet from Rec office with my sig on it) #3 Did all Army National Guard REC's get this message? Thanks, Mike | |||
