Re-entry or RE codes are rarely changed. However, under certain circumstances, it can be done if an error or injustice is found in your record. You will need to submit a package to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) if you were in the Navy or Marines. Army and Air Force have an equivalent board called the Board for Correction of Military Records. These boards have web sites which are helpful in the application process. You will have to demonstrate an error or injustice by providing documentation to support your case.
There are several factors you will want to consider as you prepare your application including obtaining representation, and assistance in preparing your case. There are several organizations that provide representation free of charge.

With an RE-3 code, you are no longer qualified to enlist. However, it may be possible for you to obtain a waiver for reentry into the military. Subsections and criteria for this will vary between branches, and your best advice would be to discuss this further with your nearest recruiter for whichever branch of service you are seeking entry/reentry into.
RE-4B is an Air Force reenlistment code, given to indicate a discharge for exceeding body fat standards.
Length of Service (LOS) Retirement.
There'll still be a reentry (RE) code on your DD-214. If you have an RE4 (or any variation thereof), you're rendered ineligible to reenter the military.
The Army is a very peculiar organization. It's actually not particularly difficult to enlist into the Army with a General Discharge, or even an other-than-honourable (however, a straightforward DD is usually a disqualifier) if the discharge occurred from any other branch of service. Reentry for personnel who received a General or OTH from the Army, however, is extremely difficult. Your ability to enlist in the Army after an involuntary separation from another branch will be dependent on the reentry code on your DD-214. If you have an RE-1 or RE-2 reentry code, you're good to go. If you have an RE-3 code, you are disqualified for enlistment, but may be able to obtain a waiver to be able to enlist. If you have an RE-3C or RE-4 code, your chances are slim to none.
If you have an RE4 reentry code on your DD214, the chances are pretty much nil.
Well, I don't know if it's different from other branches of the military, but in the Army, a code 3 on a dd214 means you have an option of coming back into the Army. You just have to wait 90 days from the day you final with a recruiter waiver. Hope that answers your question.
KAK is the military separation code for "Expiration of Term of Service". Note that the military separation codes are subject to change, and that the military no longer releases the meaning of the codes to the general public. This was the meaning prior to the information ban.
We are expecting to make reentry in about five minutes. Reentry to that burning house will require courage and concentration.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell allowed homosexuals to join the military - it just stipulated that they had to keep it to themselves. With the repeal of DADT, there'll likely be a change made to the section of the United States Code which prohibited homosexuals from serving in the military.
The codes change from time to time but, I have a friend who works in separation and he told me that JKA stands for Discreditable incidents and these can be either military or civilian. If you feel that you have received this code in error, please contact your separation admin.
