1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, a former enlisted member of the Marine 
Corps, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting that his RE-4 reentry code (ineligible for 
reenlistment) be upgraded. 

2. The Board, consisting of , reviewed 
Petitioner's allegations oferror and injustice on 18 July 2016, and pursuant to its regulations, 
determined that the partial corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available 
evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofthe enclosures, 
naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts ofrecord pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of 
error and injustice finds as follows: 

a. Before applying to this Board, the Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies 
available under existing law and regulations within the Department ofthe Navy. 

b. Enclosure (I) was filed in a timely manner. 

c. The Petitioner enlisted in the Marine Corps and began a period ofactive duty on 12 June 
2001. During the period of 12 July 2004 through 18 May 2005, the Petitioner received multiple 
adverse paperwork for unsatisfactory performance while on the Body Composition Program 
(BCP). Because ofthis, the Commanding Officer issued a page 11 informing the Petitioner he 
was not recommended for reenlistment due to failure to meet height and weight standards and be 
assigned an RE-4 code. 

d. On 11 June 2005, the Petitioner received released from active duty, transferred to the 
Marine Corps Reserves with an honorable character of service, and was issued an RE-4 reentry 
code. 

e. On 22 June 2008, the Petitioner was discharged from the military. 

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration ofall the evidence ofrecord, the Board concluded that the 
Petitioner's request warrants favorable action. In this regard, his reentry code shall be changed 
to "RE-3P" (failure to meet physical/medical standards). In this regard, the Board determined 
that, in accordance with Navy regulations, the "RE-3P" reentry code is appropriate for the reason 
for separation as stated on Petitioner's Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty 
(DD Form 214). Further, there was no evidence in Petitioner's record that sufficiently justified 
the RE-4 reentry code. 

RECOMMENDATION: 

a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that, on 11 June 2005, he was issued 
an "RE-3P" reentry code. 

b. That, upon request, the Department ofVeterans Affairs be informed that Petitioner's 
application was received by the Board. 

c. That a copy ofthis report ofproceedings be filed in Petitioner's naval record.
