Aloha, trying to help a battle out.

Not a soldier, sailor here, and from what I read AR 670-1 doesn't allow any tattoos above the neckline of a standard T-shirt.

An Army Air National Guard member is trying to reenlist, 15 years in service. Has a tattoo behind the ear. Has 15 other tattoos, all undocumented.

Are they precluded from reenlisting, or can they get a waiver?

They can try for a waiver- seeing if they are fresh, Sm is probably grandfathered in- but the undocumented fact may bit him in the 4th POC.

AR is Army Regulations so if you mean Air Guard as in Air Force then your best bet is to inquire with an Air (Force) National Guard recruiter for current regs and/or waivers, and if you say "reenlist" meaning the Airman is already in and just extending their contact or you mean "enlist" where they are new recruits or prior service switching branches?

I also just noticed you're Hosp corpsman...I jadmt noticed tat before, so, certainly, such a possibility might've occurred to you to ask about, of not, given your clinical training, I should certainly think you'd be in a fairly good environment to at least pose such questions, amongst those clinicians you normally deal with, of course....
