Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 

DISCUSSION: The applicant was separated from the service. 
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The applicant had an entry level 
separation. An Uncharacterized discharge is issued to those individuals unable to complete training with 
less than 180 days of military service. 
An uncharacterized character of service is not derogatory in nature and is the prescribed character for 
individuals who were separated while at initial accession training and there was no associated conduct 
to warrant a less desirable character of service. 
An RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that 
the applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor. The RE3 code may be 
waived based upon the policies and needs of the gaining Service. 

RECOMMENDATION: The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant’s record of service and all 
available documentation. The Board deemed that the applicant’s character of service, reason for 
separation and reenlistment code are appropriate and should not be changed. The applicant has not 
substantiated any error or inequity. 

2 In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is 
substantial credible evidence (to include evidence submitted by the Applicant) to rebut the presumption.
