Question
I was discharged from the US Marine corps in 2004 with a bad conduct discharge and a RE4 code.The reason I got this was for a physical confortation with another marine we were both Corporals. I was just wondering if there is anyway I could get back into the army or anything I've grown up a lot and just want another chance I still have a lot to offer my country!! Please help
If your DD214 has 'Bad Conduct Discharge' on it you were either convicted at Courts Martial or resigned in lieu of one. There is no way to recover from that. Even VA won't upgrade your discharge characterization in light of something like that. I'm sorry but you need to consider other lines of work.
