U.S. Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard Re-Enlistment Codes |
|
| U.S. Military RE codes are entered on military discharge documents (DD Form 214, Record of Discharge) and characterize a member's future eligibility to enlist or reenlist after discharge or separation from the military service. The RE Codes for all branches of service are listed below. | |
| The RE Code can be found in Box 27 and the reentry code will differ by branch of military service. A Separation Code is also considered and is a numerical or alphabetic code which defines the reason a discharge was granted. While the primary factor on whether or not one can reenlist lies with the RE Code, the services also use the Separation Codes to determine whether or not one is eligible. An individual's Separation Code can also be found on DD Form 214 in Box 26. | |
