Question
i was discharged in 2002 from the air gaurd. my ngb form 22 does not have a re code .in the reinlistment eligiblity box it says eniligible. how do i know what my re code is. i was told that this "code"was only for air force reinlistment. any help would be great.
It is unusual that your NGB22 does not show an RE code. If no RE code exosts, recruiters usually have to use the prevailing regulation that is quoted on your NGB22 on why you were discharged. Though I can tell you, if it says ineligible, I doubt the AF will even consider you. They focus mainly on non prior service applicants that require no tyoe of waivers or issues. It is just a reality in recruiting today.

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.
