Are
Administrative Separation Codes and Reenlistment Codes the same?

No. Administrative Separation Codes
are used to represent the reason the service member is leaving the
military service, i.e., 213, Discharge for retirement as an officer.
For more information about discharge or separation from Naval service,
see
Administrative Separations, on this website.
The reenlistment codes represent an enlisted member's ability to
return to military service, i.e., RE-1, fully qualified for
reenlistment versus RE-4, ineligible for reenlistment.
How
do I change a reenlistment code?

You must first submit your request to change a
reenlistment code to BUPERS (PERS-254).
Following a response from BUPERS and depending on how long you have been discharged from the Naval
service, submit a request to change the RE code by writing
to the
Board for Correction of Naval Records.
