have adhd got a waiver in boot. Got mono in a-school but didnt know and was prescribed concerta (adhd med) by the doctors on base. I was still having trouble staying awake and alert , due to mono. Went to mental health for stress evaluation was discharge because of my medication. I was young with no commitments and didnt fight it (I was 19). I'm 27 now. Now I have a family that I would do anything for and i'm in the medical field so i want to cross-rate to be a corpsman. If i got a waiver could I reenlist.
I have a code re4 for erroneous enlistment and honorable discharge. if i state that the discharge went against my waiver can i get back in

Early in my Navy career I received to the USS Stark, but slipped them due our son being an exceptional family member and opted for an intel assignment at NAVSTA Rodman in the Canal Zone. My wife and I agreed I should go and she remained in CONUS with the family. My wife underwent sensitive spinal surgery which necessitated my returning to CONUS. Long and short was the CO got pissed and “low-balled” me on my E6 Eval. Took a HUMS reassignment back to CONUS and was eventually discharged with an “RE-4” re-up code. Fooled around with the USNR for 6-months and finally joined the Florida Army National Guard (FLANG) as an Interragator-translator. The FLANG waived my HUMS re-up code and I enlisted as a SSG E6. 8-months later, after informing my USNR recruiter, he got “reamed” by big Navy for not getting me onboard. I know I’m making a short story much too long, but keep plugging and it will happen.

It is not up to a recruiter. It will take a Commander providing you a waiver. Recruiters can only find commanders to facilitate. It will be a case by case bases.

I was just researching for the last few weeks and found "An unfavorable "RE-CODE" is, in itself, not a bar to reenlistment. A request for a waiver can be submitted during the processing of a formal application for reenlistment through a recruiter."

I suppose I was just curious about chances with my current situation.
I assume that other branches follow the same basic concepts.
Not to mention I have much more to offer now than I did straight out of high school. Thank you for your response.

Individuals with a Navy/Marine/Coast Guard RE Code of "4" are normally not eligible to reenlist in their service, nor join another service.

What if the RE 4 was due to a pattern of misconduct (Always missing my alarm and was late, aka UA) from an unknown medical condition that the VA found out was treatable and fixable? I apparently had a thyroid disorder while I was in the Navy that the VA corrected. It is rare for males to have a thyroid condition, let alone a male in their mid-20's, since it is usually associated to pregnancies. Now I have no problems getting to sleep and no problems waking up in the morning to a low sound level alarm clock.
