How hard is it to get back into the military with RE-2?
The RE code is a big factor in how much trouble you will have getting back in, and whether you can qualify for prior service. Sometimes an RE-2 condition may require you to go through basic training again, lose weight, or retake the ASVAB test (and score higher). This also depends on what branch of service you want to get into.
What is my reenlistment eligibility code for previous service?
Record of Previous Service The other hurdle (for many) prior service is the re-enlistment eligibility code (RE Code) that the service placed on their DD Form 214 (Record of Discharge) at the time of their separation. In general, if the RE Code is “1,” there are no bars to enlistment.
