and policies.

all potentially mitigating factors, such as your length of

these factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in your
reenlistment code due to your NUP, the diagnosed personality
disorders, and your suicidal ideation. An RE-4 reenlistment code

contentions, there is no évidence in the record to support them,

of the panel will be furnished upon request.
