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.

Can you reenlist in the military with an RE3t code?

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.

Can you go back in the military after a general discharge?

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.


What is the posibility of rejoining after having a dishonorable discharge?

What does Reentry Code 4 mean on Form DD-214?

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.
