 For those thinking about re-enlisting, here are a few tips to help make the process a little bit easier. So when sailors re-enlist, they'll work with their command crew counselor or their departmental crew counselor and route a re-enlistment request that'll go all the way up to the CO. They must be medically approved, so medical will normally sign off on it. They also, if they're under rates who require clearances, they must make sure their clearance is good to go as well. When sailors re-enlist, they can re-enlist anywhere between two and six years. When sailors re-enlist, they want to make sure they have a timely request. Normally, PSDs will ask for about 30 days to receive their request and process the contract, so sailors should plan ahead and make sure that their dates are set up, their location is set up. They work with their crew counselor and their re-enlisting officer to make sure that everything is good to go. For more information about re-enlistments, visit navy.mil.
