(3): TII:a:i~~5 DID Form 149 of 1 Feb 07

1.	1ltL~JI:s service record has been revIewed and it has been determined that his reenlistment code of RE-3P was correctly assigned. The reenlistment code was assigned based on his overall record and means that he did not meet the physical,’ medical standards for reenlistment at the cime of separation

2.	T~~~was discharged on July 23, 2003 to attend school. A review of his service record indicates that he was a 92 day reservist dropped to Medical Rehabilitation Platoon for tendonitis in his right knee. ~ did not want to return to a training company because it would have made him late for his college classes. Enclosures (1) and (2) pertain.

3.	After a review of all relevant information, this Headquarters concurs in the professional evaluation oi~ ~iJ1iI*I~ft~ qualifications for reenlistment at the time of separation. Once a code is correctly assigned it is not routinely changed or upgraded as a result of events that occur after separation or based merely on the passage of time.

4.	The reenlistment code assigned by the Marine Corps is an administrative marking which reflects the member’s acceptability for reenlistment at the time of separation from the Marine Corps. The code may, however, be waived at the discretion of the acquiring branch of service per their own policies and regulations.

5.	Enclosure (3) is returned for final action.
