As far as I understand an RE-4 just means you are not eligible for re-enlistment. I dont think it bans you from civilian government jobs.

I ask myself that same question all the time, i would've retired after 20 years. now i have to wait until I'm 65. If your thinking about reenlisting I wouldn't wait too long,you might lose the time you already served.\n   I am very proud that i did serve my country, I still have my crackerjacks, I just can't get rid of them, I mean it's been 27 years since i was in, if I was younger I'd go back in a heart beat. good luck in what ever you decide.\n       squids forever

first of all it does not matter that you do not have a written contract. for the last 22 months you have been expected to turn up for work at a certain time and leave at a certain time and been paid continuously then in law you have a contract of employment. if the company after 22 months wants you to sign a new contract then the old contract though not written is terminated and this is a dismissal in law if you do not agree. if you agree to sign this contract then yes they can give you the push at the end of the month. if you dont and you are given the push anyway they are making you redundant and if they do not follow the correct procedure you would make a claim at employment tribunal for unfair dismissal/redundancy. a lot of inexperienced companies do this. they can make you redundant within 2 years of your employment simply by informing you by letter and having a discussion about alternative options to redundancy if there are no alternatives then you are redundant and it hasn't cost them a penny so there really is no need for the new contract. a lot of companies like this end up at tribunal because they do not follow simple acas guidlines. follow the link for more info. just for the record i would tell them that i would not sign the new contract.

I AM A NAVY RECRUITER.  WHAT ALL IS GOING ON IN YOUR JUV RECORD? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE THAT YOU MAY BE WORRIED ABOUT?\n\nTHERE ARE WAIVERS AVAILABLE FOR SOME CASES BUT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON (SEE YOUR REC) WE CANT SAY!\n\nHOW OLD ARE YOU? HOW LONG AGO DID THESE THINGS HAPPEN?\nYOU NEED TO BE HONEST WITH YOUR RECRUITER BECAUSE OF A FEW REASONS.\n\n1. IF YOUR RECRUITER IS A GOOD ONE THEY WILL HELP YOU WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES.\n\n2.  DO NOT HIDE ANYTHING BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO MEPS (MILITARY ENLISTMENT PROCESSING STATION) AND YOU GET THROUGH MEDICAL ETC AND SAY OH WAIT I DID DO THIS WHEN I WAS...\nTHEN YOU STOP DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS AND THEY SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR RECRUITER AND THEY EITHER CAN WORK YOUR CASE OR NOT! SO MY BEST ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE TALK TO YOUR RECRUITER AND SEE WHAT THERE IS OUT THERE FOR YOU? WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOU?  JUST BE HONEST YOU DONT WANT TO WAIST THE RECRUITERS TIME OR YOURS! IT'S A LOT OF PAPER WORK TO GET SOMEONE IN THE MILITARY!\n\nGOOD LUCK TO YOU KIDDO!

You will not be able to enlist in any branch. An RE-4 is under dishonorable conditions and bars you from reenlistment. About the best you could do is contact a lawyer who specializes in military law and find out what options you may have to upgrade your discharge.

Well a few things can happen. Alot of it actually depends on the military unit they went AWOL from. First off, as soon as we change thier duty status to AWOL, we hold all pay and allowances... we inventory all property they leave behind within 24 hours. The Army has a group of military police called "AWOL Apprehension" that are informed and a notice goes thru NCIC to all law enforcement agency's. After 10 days we send thier parents a letter explaining that they are AWOL and explaining duty and honor. At the 31 day mark, we begin processing the paperwork to drop them from the military rolls and seperate them from the Army for desertion. They are given a seperation code on thier official records and DD214 that codes them as a dessertor.  With that code, it is difficult for them to apply to any college, they will be turned down for all state and federal jobs and they cannot recieve alot of different loans... to include alot of consumer loans.  Life at that point kinda sucks for them... and usually so does thier pay.  McDonalds and Burger King have even started denying them employment. If you can't get a job at Burger King... well that rests on it's own merits....lol.

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.  The length of time varies for the forum, and for the type of wrongful discharge.  Each state has its own statute of limitations for bringing discharge actions, as well as the federal government. Also, different limitations exist for discrimination suits, and for express or implied contract breaches.  Contact your local EEOC office if you'd like specific information, and be prepared to present the specifics of your situation.\n\nEDIT: Remember, not all wrongful discharge claims fall under the EEOC, so the timelines may differ from the ones presented in the EEOC's information.

It is possible. But it will be very difficult. Start by talking to a recruiter. There are a number of hoops to jump through to re-enlist when you have an RE3 Discharge. First and formost will be to demonstrate a real desire to serve and NOT commit the same offense again.

In the event a resident is transferred from the area on military orders or their active military status is terminated, the resident may terminate the lease agreement upon giving a 30-day or 60-day written notice to vacate the apartment to the management (which ever is required by your lease). In addition, a copy of military orders or termination of active status will need to be provided to management. If there was a concession given at the time of move-in, it may be required that the amount be repaid prior to moving out. Typically a move to military on-base quarters shall not be considered a military transfer. Your lease agreement should have some sort of military transfer clause.

Army Basic training is 9 weeks long then you have AIT that varies per MOS

I signed up when I was 17, but I needed parental consent, which got tricky.  I spent 1 year in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP), graduated high school, and went to boot camp about two weeks later.  Keep in mind that a typical enlistment is 8 years, 4 years active, 4 inactive reserve.  Your time in the DEP will count toward the 8 years.  Good luck and Semper Fi.

After Basic Training (BCT), you will depart for job training (AIT) afterwards. You usually graduate BC^T on a Thursday or Friday and start AIT the next Monday. AIT depends on your job that you selected (MOS). The shortest is 3 weeks and the longest in 1 1/2 years. After AIT (during if it is over 6 months) you will be allowed to take some leave time to go home, before your first assignment.\n\nUnfortunately, with the Army's reorganization we are undergoing, the Army has temporarily suspended most guaranteed first assignments. You will still be able to select your MOS.\n\nI recommend no less than a 4 year enlistment. A 2 or 3 year limits job selection and a 2 or 3 year enlistment is years plus training time. You may enlist for 3 years and serve almost 4, with less incentives, less options. Some jobs require a 5 or 6 year enlistment. If you are going to a long AIT or a security clearance, the Army will want more out of you for a commitment.\n\nLook at everything before you decide what your final selections are going to be. You may find an MOS that meets your needs with a sweet incentive, or you may find an MOS that you love, and do not care about the incentives. Expect a long day at MEPS while you decide.\n\nFeel free to ask me any questions you may come up with along the way.

Without being a lawyer and knowing all the particulars, it would seem that your separation should have been classified as Erroneous Enlistment, rather than Fraudulent Enlistment.\n\n"Recruits may be separated for erroneous enlistment where they can show that:\n\n1. Enlistment would not have occurred had the relevant disqualifying facts been known by the government or had appropriate directives been followed;\n\n2. Enlistment was not the result of fraudulent conduct on the part of the recruit;\n\n3. The disqualifying defect is unchanged in material respects."\n\n"If identified by military medical authorities within six months of initial entry on active duty, any condition which would have permanently or temporarily disqualified him or her for entry into military service according to procurement medical standards will result in a Convenience of the Government discharge."\n\nIt may be worth your time to have a lawyer look into this.\n\nGood luck!

Everyone gets an 8 year contract... however there is a program (Navy) called SAM (Sea & Air Mariner) that allows you to go to basic, school and I think 1 year of acitve duty, then the rest reserve... of course during your reserve hitch you can always be recalled.

Wow! I cannot believe the answers of these people who don't know what in the heck they are talking about here!!\n\nEVERY first enlistment into the Army is for EIGHT YEARS. Those 8 years are usually split into two categories - active duty years and individual ready reserve years.\n\nMy first enlistment was for 4 years. What this means is that I am required by contract to stay in the Army on "active duty" status for 4 years. Once those 4 years are up, I am placed on "individual ready reserve" status for the remaining 4 years. This means that although I have completed my 4 year active duty requirement, I am placed in a pool that can be recalled to active duty for the length of the individual ready reserve status.\n\n* If you initially enlist for 2 years active duty, you spend 6 years in individual ready reserve status.\n* If you initially enlist for 3 years active duty, you spend 5 years in individual ready reserve status.\n* And so on, and so on...

Only the Army offers 2 year enlistments.  However, the initial service obligation is 8 years; 2 active and 6 reserve in this case.  With the current situation, there's a strong probability that you'll be held on active duty under Stop Loss making the 2 year contract moot.\n\n2-year enlistments get the crummy "grunt" jobs.  Probably infantry.  Nothing glamorous and no high-tech training.
