From AR 635-200: RE-3 Individuals who are not qualified for continued Army service, but the
disqualification is waiverable. Ineligible for enlistment unless a waiver is granted. The Separation Code of “JGH” applies when an applicant was discharged for not meeting retention standards of the Army. So evidently you timed out for your rank? It looks like you are eligible for reenlistment so go and talk to an Army Reserve or National Guard recruiter. Best of luck!

SGT Ji Hong It appears your situation is waiverable. Don't let little things like few recruiters in your area stop you. I've been fighting to get my RE3 waived for 17 years & just found a recruiter last year that was willing to fight like hell to get me back in. Its a long process because the waiver has to go through so many offices, but it if is what you want, it is worth it!

Yes with a waiver from an O-6 or above in the organization you are applying to. A Army Reserve Recruiter knows how to do this. I did this myself with the same codes.

Okay so I had this recruiter contact me a couple months back about my inquiry for reserves, but he didn't ask for my reentry code; I told him what the reasoning was and he said it was a no-go but immediately hung up the phone call. Do I still go after this waiver and keep trying, or do I give up and face the fact that I won't ever get back in?
