What effect does an RE-3 reenlistment code have on a Sailor's veteran's benefits?

An RE-3 reenlistment code indicates that a Sailor is eligible to reapply for enlistment but may have certain limitations or conditions. Generally, this code does not directly impact a Sailor's eligibility for veteran's benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Benefits such as disability compensation, education benefits, and health care are typically based on the veteran's length and type of service, not solely on the reenlistment code. Therefore, an RE-3 code will not have an adverse effect on a Sailor's ability to access these benefits, thus making the conclusion that there is no effect on benefits for a Sailor with this code accurate.
