My daughter is being discharged from the Navy with an re-4 code for fraudulent enlistment. She could not pass the run portion of the physical fitness test and she asked to see a counselor. She told her she had seen a counselor last year and apparently it came up when she was recommended for release for medical reasons, none of which have to do with her state of mind. The counselor also told her she would not leave with a code 4, which of course was not true. Her crime is not mentioning that she had seen a counselor last year. Her boyfriend was killed and she was having trouble dealing with it. Her recruiter told her it was not necessary to mention it since it was not for a serious mental illness. She is upset because she wants to go back. Is there any way to fight this and have the code changed? If so what is the waiting period if any?

3. If you are making the application on behalf of another individual, complete Section 2.
4. Indicate the action you wish the board to accomplish in Section 3.
5. In section 4, indicate whether you wish to appear before the board in Washington D.C., wait for a traveling board, or have a records only review.

Tips:

1. Most of these requests are not approved. To maximize your chances, it is a good idea to be represented by an experienced attorney.
2. If the Discharge is over 15 years old, you must apply for a Correction of Military Records.
