Ok, well business rules reenlistment for prior service change a lot, so what RE-1A meant yesterday, likely means little tomorrow. Hence my confusion as last I checked RE-1A Individuals with over 6 years of service for pay. Fully qualified for enlistment. Ineligible to reenlist for 93 days after date of separation.

I qualified for Option 3 under the Prior service business rules. I have 42 months TIS. I got RE-1A from the Marines because I had used the VEERP. I have been out for 2 years.

1A should not need a waiver. From my days as a recruiter the only issue would be your MOS. Does your Marine MOS translate to an Army MOS. Often there is no reclass available or offered to prior service.

CWO2 S R - Yes sir. Its because they wanted to know the reason for why I did the VEERP to get out early. My old unit has already sent them a letter but they want it to be from HQMC which has been a month already waiting.

SSG (Join to see) - I am in the exact same boat. I did the veerp now they want to do a waiver. I went to MOL to get all my documents and they insist that they want it to come directly from HQMC but it has been over a month. My recruiter sent me a text saying that the system is messed up but that was weeks ago. I did an EPAR and got documents back in 3 days. I am really hoping they aren't playing games.
