How likely is it that I can get back in the Army with an RE 3 code and a JKQ separation code?

I was discharged after 2 years of active duty for misconduct. I received a General under Honorable Conditions discharge, with an RE 3 code, and a JKQ separation code. My recruiter said she could definitely get me back in with a little paperwork, but I was wondering how realistic that really was. How likely is it my waiver will get approved? I was young and made stupid mistakes, and I would like to get back in and continue my career. So how likely is it to get approved?

Don't hold your breath, It was a serious charge, and RE3 takes a big waiver. Right now, after discharging thousands of folks for not being deployable, the Army is stretching TIG requirements for promotions, and cutting down recruiting to meet the budget constraints. You would be the last choice for a recruiter.

They're actually recruiting prior enlisted with RE 3 codes without an issue and are being treated the same as any other recruit and I'd know this because I'm personally going through the process myself of obtaining a waiver to reup.

You were separated for misconduct (serious offense)
While it is possible, it’s not probable.

PFC (Join to see) - An RE-3 would still require a waiver to get into the Guard, same problem you face now.
And the Guard doesn't have to release you to go active duty.

You have to realize something that with Afghanistan now over, the US Military is about to probably go thru the RIF (Reduction In Force) again...like they did in the 90's after the 1st Gulf War. This means that the military is gonna look for ways and give offers to folks to get rid of them. Which means that if they are gonna look for ways to get rid of people, then folks with your particular discharge type and reason....yea, you really don't stand too much of a chance. Not saying you are 100% not getting back in, just that the odds are most certainly not in your favor. But, you never know until you try. Also, the process is gonna take a good long while.
