Lost and Confused in INDY

:confused:

HOOAH!!!! I know I have taken up alot of time on here but there are so many questions running through my little brain.. I guess technically I am prior service Even though an abusive ex husband ruined that one!! its been 6 years since my discharge in the category of OTH and an RE 3 Obviously I need a waiver.. My life has changed in so many aspects and the number one thing on my mind right now is bettering my career life.. I have given my life to God and asked him to make this happen.. I have had a rough life and now that I am older and much wiser I am praying for this to finally come true... I have a dream of being a medic and will do just about anything to enlist and push myself hard.. I have alot of Motivation and this is all for my Mother recently deceased in August 2005 Her life was dedicated to serving her country and she was a very good mentor ... I want to be able to give my children a chance in life ( They live full time with Dad) but most of all I just want another chance to do something right!!!!

Please someone help??

With the current regulation in place any prior service who recieved a Other Than Honorable discharge in ineligible to enlist at this time. No waivers will be granted for that discharge.
Don't give up just yet, I enclosed a link on how to upgrade your discharge. Read up on it, and follow the instruction on the form and go foward from there.

I guess now I am even more confused.. I have been told by others that I can get a waiver for an RE 3.. This upsets me

Monica,

The RE-3 is good with a waiver but the OTH is the problem. You need to get that changed by going thru the process mentioned above.

I know my DD 214 isnt too explanatory its Navy.. it says RE 3 undefined
