When I got separated from the marines it was for a SARP failure, after I failed my first SARP class I immediately went back and graduated. I had letters from my command and also the counselor from SARP recommending that I stay in because of my character and drive to correct myself. There has to be someone out there that knows how I can go about changing my re code or fighting my case again. I know the odds are against me and not likely in my favor so unless you have advice stay off my comments thanks you. May I also mention that the Assistant Division Commander of my CEB division saw that I stayed in, they gave me a general under honorable conditions discharge and they recommended that I fight to change my re code when I get out.

Extremely unlikely, barring an error.
Those who told you to fight it once you got out either didn't know, or lacked candor. Here's how:
The Board for Corrections of Naval Records (BCNR) acts for the Secretary of the Navy. That Board will examine a constituent's service record and any evidence he/she submits and will make recommendations to the Secretary of the Navy concerning any corrective action deemed appropriate. In order for a constituent to petition the Board, they must submit a DD From 149 along with any evidence pertinent to their case.

You change you're RE code by submitting a review request to the board of corrections. They look over what you sent, what is actually in your file and make a decision.
Now, while is is possible, it is however not likely. Changes are done but not the norm. However... should you seriously wish to pursue it, have those involved write letter in support of your petition. The more you have, the better your chances.

PFC (Join to see) Changing your RE code is nearly impossible, unless you can prove it was issued to you in error. It would be easier to get a waiver to re-enlist, quite honestly. Find a hell of a recruiter that knows what steps they need to take to get you back in. If you were to get letters from everyone telling you that you should fight it (the heavier their arms/shoulders, the better), that might help in changing RE code, but that's a long fight, too.

Thanks man I've been having a hell of a time trying to find the right path on getting in, many service members shoot me down on my fight. And few recruiters want to help.

You are not going to find any recruiters that would want to touch that case with a 10fgt pole, and re4 in non waiverablePFC (Join to see)
