Question
I just recently got out of the military. how does it work on your dd214, when you have an honorable discharge but a reentry code of 4.
RE Code of 4 means you have some sort of permanent disqualification. Without more information, I can just say that the military thought you performed honorably in your service, but that you had some condition that they felt was incompatible with military service or a disqualifying medical condition and coded you RE 4. You will most likely not be allowed to re-enter the military. Otherwise, it shouldn't affect you since you still have an honorable discharge.
