Question
i was discharged with an re4 18 yrs ago with an gfx code under honarable conditions personality disorder (death in family) how can i get that changed by the navy or will they raw deal
The will not chnage the RE code, but can change under honorable conditions to honorable. Go to www.va.gov and click on military records. It tells you how to get it changed. In a nutshell, show how you have been a good citizen since, how good you were as a sialor until the point of the discharge. If they see suffecient evidence, they may upgrade it to 'Honorable" and send you a new dd214 to that effect.
Good luck.

Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter , been doing it for seven years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 13 years in the Guard. I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is different, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so. Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.
