Need a Waiver for the military? RE CODE 3? Watch this 

the chances of me finding this video are probably 1 in a million. your story mirrors mine so much. i joined the army national guard 8 years ago i had a general discharge separation code jga, re 3 for performance. i lost motivation in training after finding out my father died. i am currently in law enforcement working as a police officer in colorado and it was a long struggle dealing with trying to get into this career with the military background. specially with larger departments on the east coast. i was lucky to get on a smaller one in colorado. ive been a cop for 4 years now and i am currently 30 years old and i felt like getting out was one of my biggest regrets and i was looking recently to see if i could get back in. this video helped alot. i am going to go for it now

In my experience the re3 waiver is possible just takes a waiting game, letter, great recruiter

I got a reentry code of 3, I was having a hard time adjusting to the males abusing me & another females . I was a 19kilo but I was literally 1 week away from AIT graduation but I got threats from my drill sergeants , I felt unsafe so I left. I just turned 20 years old, I was not mentally prepared to be honest & I did not even look at boot camp or AIT videos for the army. I’m definitely mentally ready now but I lost motivation before to joined back into the military, now I’m 25 & this video is helping me a lot to start my process again back into the military. Thank you

I had a general discharge with code re-3 for performance issues, from the National Guard. I was going through a tough time; I was 22 years old and felt like I had nobody to turn to or no true direction in life. I always regretted that decision of letting it all go. I never thought they would ever let me reenlist at all, and that question of if they would let me back in always stirred in mind for up to 10 years until one day I looked up what an re-3 code meant. A few months ago, I started talking to a recruiter and he said there was a way to get back in, it would just take a while with waivers and what not. And boy, was it a process. There were moments that I doubted that my waivers were going to get approved, but my recruiter always reassured me and had my back. Here I am 7 months later reenlisted and going back to basic training this summer. I hope you're all doing well out there.

I got an Honorable, RE3 in 2011 at 20. I am currently in the process, waiting on my first visit to meps. Like you, 30, trying to redo my military record to look better on paper to further a career in Law Enforcement. Thank the Lord my recruiter is a go getter and excited about bringing me in.

I have JGA and a Reen3. The first recruiter I spoke to said no he can’t help me. I was still in contact with a prior DS and he’s a recruiter now but in another state so I called him and told him what happened. He said give me 10 min. 5 min later I get a call from another recruiter saying it’s very rare a DS tries to get a trainee back in. So he said he’s willing to do whatever it takes for me. I was like ayyyy thank you. I passed meps. Now just waiting on my waiver to clear. Almost in !

Congratulations on getting back in. You’re video is extremely motivating.

This was extremely motivating sense I had re-3g code and thought it wouldn't be possible. Going tomorrow to get started.

Earned a re-3 back when I was 18 during bct in early 00's. Definitely have regretted it, but still became a law enforcement officer on the west coast 8 years later at 26. Stay out of trouble, continue your education, and stay fit. It is not an end all.

I'm going through everything you went through, literally the same man. Did music and all I needed this video. Only thing going for me is I went to basic the first time with my current recruiter

Bro thanks for putting this up. I have the exact same reentry code and i definitely want to go back in. Wish me luck, going to try the same thing

I like your vibe man. You come across as transparent and cool.

This helped me out big time! Thank you so much! My DD214 is a RE-3 So now that I’m trying to back THIS video definitely helped in detail and good luck to you brother #hooah

I Was in the marines and got a oth for being young and stupid really hope there’s a chance of me getting back in I regret working that hard just to get a oth and I miss the marines everyday glad I came across your video didn’t even know about this waiver till now

Man this video definitely Gave me hope. I need to get back in

Thanks for the video man. I can relate. Music got me too bro. Haha. I was homesick and missed playing music. So I essentially sabotaged my way out of the Air Force so I could go home to play music. Joined a band about 6 months before I left the AF (after my voluntary separation was approved). It dawned on me that I could be in a band WHILE serving, but the damage was done. Never occurred to me that I could pursue my music dream and my military dream simultaneously. Here I am 8 years later finally having the courage to face the skeletons in my closet and get back swinging. The Air Force won’t take me, I don’t think, but I’ve got a green light from Army NG. Gonna go in, prove myself, get my degree, then continue pursuing that original goal of being an Air Force pilot. It’s gonna be a long steep road, but I can do this. Best of luck to you! Subscribed.

Thanks for the information! I needed this. I was lacking the steps but now I know! Appreciate it

This video was helpful as I've recently decided I want to join back up and get my commission as an Officer (you know, cuz Russia is a thing right now). However, I have an RE-3 code as well on my DD-214. Luckily it states 'condition, not a disability' on there which I hope to use to my advantage. Being 18 when I went in I still had no clue what I wanted to do and frankly, was more timid than I should have been. Especially for an 11B. I got injured because I didn't train properly, and because of my toxic leadership, I became depressed AF. I see that as a 'condition of my circumstance' as I've never been depressed since. But at 32, I have a whole new drive and desire to lead by example. I just have to hope I can find a good recruiter who will work with me. I know it's going to be a lot of work and a long process, but if I can get the job(s) I want, it will be worth it.

Great video! Thank you. Just gave me some hope and motivation to work.

Please, please, please do a follow-up video on how things go with your BAH application. I’ll be looking into getting BAH soon after enlistment and before BCT.

Well this gives me a lot of hope, 14 years ago I wasn’t mentally fit but I was 18 and unsure. I’m 32 and in great shape plus grown up. I’m hoping they give me a second chance cause I want to serve.

thank you much i needed to see this. i'm actually in the same situation

Thanks man thank you for the video kinda going through the same thing a little bit more or less I see my life is not that great at home and I really made a huge mistake leaving the military. I thought things were going to be good and didn’t think the army or military was for me.

I got the re-3f from the Marine Corps I'm hoping its been 2 years now so I'm hoping I can go back into it especially with what's going on right now I got out for my legs so medical

Thanks for the video and wise words; they serve as motivation because it’s VERY hard to get in contact with my recruiter. Haven’t been to MEPS yet but my recruiter submitted my applicant statement about 9 weeks ago. Haven’t heard a thing about that yet and when ever I ask my recruiter about it he doesn’t answer me. I text him about updates and he gives me nothing. Trying to stay positive and patient I do wish my recruiter would text me back when I text him tho even if he has nothing to tell me; it would go along way in keeping me motivated. I have an RE-3 due to failure to adapt and need an age waiver too. It feels like it’s been forever and I do get frustrated at times but like I said I’m trying really hard to be patient and be prepared physically to go to MEPS and to score well on the ASVAB.

Same here general discharge from gaurd looking to re-enlist at 32. Trying to see if i can go active duty though. Had some chaotic years but i have most of my discharge packet.

I got denied because I have a concave chest and Crohn’s disease. My concave chest doesn’t impact me at all it’s purely cosmetic. I’ve been to 3 different doctors and they all said the same thing and I ran cross country and track/field for 6 years. Crohn’s disease was a misdiagnosis and I had to go to several doctors to get it cleared off that it was a misdiagnosis and I have no history of it and I still got denied. What a joke

I submitted papers with an application to the review board to get my discharge upgraded so it went from uncharacterized to honorable. Lets just say I got pencil whipped but documents and facts don't lie. My waiver is now active 12 years later but anyone that has anything other than honorable. Please do yourself a favor whether you want to get back in or not submit your papers to the review board. That way jobs won't question you or if you decide to get back in years later like me. You'll have your honorable which helps your waiver more by at least being able to be considered hooah💪🏾

I’m in the process too , I already did the letter now I’m just hoping for some info I have medical and asvab done it’s just waiver for the discharge too

Great advice thanks

This was Great, Congratilations:)

I really want to get back into the Corps. I had about 9 days left of boot left at MCRDSD back in 2021 and made a bad comment I shouldn't have and still regret it.

Who told you the RE-3 meant ineligible to reenlist?

Hey I know this is a long shot, but I have a RE code 3 and my VA phycologist said I needed to be reevaluated again, but she didn't find me unfit or fit. Should I be reseen in town or keep pushing of another reevaluation threw the VA or what about MEPS ?

Thank you

I got discharged from the navy during boot camp with a RE-4 I wanna re enlist into another branch but idk if I can 😞

I received a RE-3F from the Marines with a JGA reason code. Has anyone else had this and been able to get back in?

Hey I was in the Marines reserve just recently I ended up denying the vaccine after crazy stuff in my life but I realized I made a huge mistake n I got an Re-3 code. How long did you wait until you tried to get back in and do you think it's a bad idea to try immediately? Thank u

I was busted down to E-3 and chaptered out for punching another soldier when I was deployed. Someone reported it the next day. Was out 7 months later. I tried to fight the chapter and stay in, but still lost. I tried hiring a lawyer out of pocket but little did I know, it was already too late into the chapter process in terms of fighting to stay in. But he can however upgrade my discharge to honorable which he is working on. It’s like a 8-month wait though. I got a general under honorable. I thought I was gonna get a RE4 but it was RE3 the day I got my 214. They told me I can come back with a waiver.

i have the same code and got discharged for unsatisfactory participation In the Arizona Guard in 2016. then i got in trouble with the law and got charged and convicted of disorderly conduct? what a waiver be accepted. have not been in trouble with law since then. what you guys think?

Took me a month and a half to get mine

My packet was fully submitted for reenlistment.Got an RE3 with a JKQ for “serious misconduct” ex wife said I beat on her.Obviously I didn’t cause my commander signed off on my papers and I didn’t get an ART15 or a counseling but still got seperated.So I have my fingers crossed.It’s at the Provost Marshalls rn.So idk what’s gonna happen.I’m nervous cause I want back in again so Fukin bad.

RE-3G mental health temp condition no longer an issue what do i do

I got a r3 from the army do I have to wait 2 years before trying to waiver for the navy or air force?

RE-4 is actually the worst and not able to re-enlist. RE-3 is the one that says requires a waiver. Otherwise, great video.

How long have you waited to hear back from your recruiter after u were done with the physical and asvab

How likely is it that I get back in with an RE3A I’m going through the process now

I was just Other than honorable recently for a medical nothing crazy just slight scoliosis but I was able to get training and fix it and I truly want to become a marine and re enlist but I am afraid now with after getting separated I can not join. but I am not sure under what code I am under or if I am under a RE CODE 3 do you have any advice i have been trying to find people who have this situation but have found none do you think its still possible.

What does a reenlistment code RE-3A, what does the A mean?

can i connect with some and discuss about re code 3 i’m going through just about the same situation

RE code 3 is not the worst one. That would be RE code 4. You can get back in with a 3 with a waiver. I got an honorable discharge with the NG with an RE code of 3 due to mental health.

You states RWE 3 is the worst, and means you were not eligible, Actually RE3 means you ARE eligible, with WAIVERS. RE4 is the Worst.

Would it be too early to make friends at MEPs?

You should look at Army CID in the future if you love law enforcement

Anyone know what are RE3 E is ?

I got a re entry code 3. there is nothing wrote in the paper of the reason. why i got out? because of (delete). My SG told me (during the army) that I can apply again after the 2 year is done. I am better doing exercise now. more motive to get back. Just one more year to wait. Edit, re entry code under characterized. I got this cause I only did 4 months.

What was you’re initial reason for under honorable discharge ?

I’ve got an OTH with RE 3

Wish I had a recruiter that’s willing to work with me. The way the Army treats people sucks ass.

What about a RE 4? It’s based off of two conduct issues.

ptsd re-3

Damn, I got lucky, my process only took 3 months to reenlist. Had some Hella motivated recruiters.

so how did everything go, are you in the military ? RE3 isnt the worse bud, RE4 is! youll be good. Good luck.

Can you rejoin if you have an re-4?

So did you end up shipping out?

I have a Re-4a anything about that,

RE: 3 isn’t that big of a deal… it’s the sep code.

Re3f is the hardest

I have 4 duis and a felony I’m screwed I want to join though

i have an RE-3G

Re-4 is the worst one.

RE 4 is the worst. No waiver Sounds like a commander forgot to bar

Specialist Sorenson I have a question I have a broken bone in my right hand and I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety(which by the way I do not suffer from) when I was a kid is there a chance I can still serve? I want and need this especially since I'm on my 30's.

Hey man, you think I can get in contact with you through Instagram or something? I’m located in California LA . I have a RE 3F code from the marine boot camp. But deciding to go to the Army now with RE 3 code.

Thank you
