I have NEVER had problems with my ankles in my life so I know I could pass this physical easily and get all the referrals i need but is it hard with the RE3 code on my DD214?

While I&#39;m not a Recruiter, this is how I understand the rules. Speaking of someone with many years in, I do find it odd that a doctor in Basic would go straight to medical discharge for a twisted ankle.

Documentation. Documentation. Find a kick-ass recruiter that won&#39;t disappear at the first sign of difficulty. You will need a waiver to go to MEPS. You will need to go to MEPS to get cleared for a waiver. You will then, most likely, need a Surgeon General&#39;s waiver, just to get back in.<br />Your situation seems much easier a path than mine, and I&#39;m but a Surgeon General&#39;s waiver away now.
