However, luckily there are many intelligent Service Members on RallyPoint. Thank you for your answers in advance; cited sources are helpful if asked this ballpark question by developing Soldiers for expeditious data recall within my repository. Thank you very much. 2023-01-14T12:43:10-05:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 8082384

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A Bar to Reenlist merely stops your continued service for the current contract. What is needed to look at is the RE-Code and Separation Code that were given. Plus, since the US doesn&#39;t have Conscription, that isn&#39;t anything to worry about.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The bar to continued service is a punitive action. He or she is not a candidate for reenlistment or continued service in any Army component. He or she is a candidate for separation if the circumstances that led to the bar to continued service are not overcome.<br />If a bar to reenlistment is in place when a Soldier ETSs, they will be given an Honorable Discharge. All receipts of both Honorable and a General Discharge Under Honorable Conditions can both be reactivated in time of declared war, since all discharges of that type are subject to inactive reserve status.<br />You may also be reactivated for crimes committed while in service which are discovered after you are discharged.<br />If you commit a crime while on any military or federal facility/land while you are still within your 8 year reserve commitment you may be re-activated to active service, but that is rare and usually would not be for petty crime.<br />Scoure: IAW Army Directive 2016-19, effective 1 October 2016

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We&#39;re not a conscription Army, we have no conscripts, nobody is conscripted. This is like asking &quot;if I throw a football far enough can I get a homerun?&quot;.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you were already in the service and have gotten a bar to re-enlist, you wouldn&#39;t be conscripted, you would be recalled. Technically, they can recall you any time during your Mandatory Service Obligation. What the standards would be if the SHTF enough to warrant it is just a guess. <br />Since I am in the shrinking minority of men that had a Draft Card, turned 18 in 1973, the last year that they drafted. You weren&#39;t eligible for the Draft until the year you turned 19 1/2, so I wasn&#39;t eligible in 73 and the Draft law expired in 1975. However, even during the Draft, there were quite a number of things that made you ineligible to serve still.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>1. This nation has not had conscription since 1972- it was stopped. The Bar says they can&#39;t serve in any more enlistments. Conscription is totally different, and nobody knows what rules is be in place should we ever have to mobilize that many folks

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well, before they start up a draft again, they will call back everyone that is already trained. So Bar to reenlistment or not, they can make you ruck up and meet that statutory obligation.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I spent 16 years in recruiting, which brought me into contact with reenlistment codes that were a bar to enlistment/reenlistment. I have also been involved with various mobilizations (e.g., Desert Storm, etc.). I have learned over the years that bars to enlistment are SOMEWHAT fluid not only by service but also by circumstances. For example, I took disqualified (DQ) Air Force applicants (in this case for cocaine use) over to the Navy Recruiter. They could do waivers, while no such waiver existed in our system. I also saw SOME variability in MEPS waivers for various maladies. In times of drawdown or when there was less need for applicants, getting a MEPS waiver was nearly impossible. In times of greater need, things loosened up. My point is this, if the need is great enough, SOME bars to enlistment could and probably would be overlooked. SOME DQ factors are so heinous that they never will be accepted. It is the nature of things.
