Been seeing a lot of posts about RE4, mostly Navy, but not much on getting it changed. Recruiters cant do a waiver and am looking for any other options. Been out for a year and want to re enlist. Any ideas?

Yeah, find something else. RE4s exist for a reason. They denote people that under no condition can serve again...

Quote “The Army will take you with a prior service RE-4 discharge as long as its something that the Army would have gave you an RE-3 for. Because the Coast Guard and Navy are a little more strict, they told me my charge would have gotten me an RE-3 in the Army and for that reason he has and can get a waiver. I would just have to write a good letter. Again this is on a case by case basis. If you were court martialed or spent time in the brig you're out of luck. If you were discharged from the Army with an RE-4 you will never get back in the Army or even National Guard. This is just what I'm told.”

There are ways to get it changed. Dont listen to those that already assume that your a shitbag and you made a mistake. Follow the steps and expect to be told no 1 or 2 times. Pony up for a lawyer if ya have to. It's not impossible not improbable worst they could say no.
