Can I rejoin either the Army or Air Force?

2018-04-02T21:19:58-04:00

I was in the army for 22 months i have an re-3 code, was honorable discharged, and I have been out for 3 years. I miss the service and want to go back. The Air Force classifies me as previous service and not prior service, but i want to go back into Army aviation. If not then ill join the Air Force. Unfortunately my mos, 15j, is no longer in service I don't mind going back to basic or retraining to another mos, but can I?

I had a RE-3 code back in 2012 spent 3 years talking to everyone I needed too get back in. It’s not impossible you have to talk to a recruiter and see what they say. My MOS was 89D back in 2012 and in 2015 i got the MOS is now 15R. Hope you make it

You can join but it will take some time for a waiver and I just got back in with an Recode 3 in February. What state you in?

Also you got a honorable so it should be easy unless you got medical reasons!

Your RE Code isn’t necessarily the problem. Your separation code is what they’re goin to look at.

PFC Scott Conley I agree with MSG Dan Walther. See a recruiter to find out your options. Keep us posted on the outcome. Good luck.

Your old MOS is a helper, not aa determiner. Need to talk to the recruiter and see what you can do, and what is a available.

Best bet is to discuss with a recruiter.
