Thread: Separation and Re-Entry Help

Hey folks,

I'm posting here on behalf of my brother. I pulled out his DD214 today to check into whether or not he would be eligible for re-enlistment. He joined the United States Air Force in 2000 but was separated during basic training, classed with a Separation Code of JFX and a Re-Entry Code of 2C. I've learned that with a 2C he is ineligible for re-enlistment in the Air Force but may well be eligible for entry into another of our services.

His whole life leading up to that point was predicated on serving his country and something happened that caused him to wash out of basic training. He saw a psychiatrist after the fact and is not hindered in any way of doing his duty now. He's done a lot of growing up since that time, as any man would, it's now 9 years later and he's trying to put his life back together. I feel that returning to service would be the best thing for him at this time and he agrees so I'm looking for some information on his behalf as he is currently without internet.

He'll be getting in touch with our local US Army office but I know we have very well qualified and capable men on this forum and I'm just looking for some guidance. Any help at all is greatly appreciated, thank you.
