After being honorably discharged (RE-3B) from the Navy, would the Navy bother taking me back or would the Army be a better AD option?

I separated from the Navy in 2012 and I later joined the Army National Guard in 2013. I competed my full term in the National Guard, however, I only completed 3 of 4 years in the Navy due to lack of a family care plan. I was honorably discharged under RE-3B with the Navy. I was wondering if the Navy would bother taking me back or if going the Army route would be a better active duty option?

Do you have a family care plan now? When there is a waiver requirement you must proove that it is no longer a constrain. Example: you were discharged for no family care plan, if you are now able to provide legal documentation that you have a plan, your waiver will be approved. Go to the nearest recruiter, bring alk your dd214s and other documentation, but be sure to have your family care plan ready. I am certain that will be able to get back to AD. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Not sure about the Navy but you could go active duty with an administrative waiver, which isn’t difficult as long as your situation has improved from what it was.
