Only a Recruiter can give you a definitive answer. You will need a Waiver just for having an RE-3. However, waivers for RE-3 related/associated/linked to behavioral health are rarely ever granted. But, again, see a Recruiter for a definitive answer.

I re-enlisted from the air force into the army with the same RE code. It took me a year and a half and a lot of work to successfully enlist. Prepare yourself for a long road ahead. I can connect you with my recruiter who got me in if you want to try. Also, I’d recommend getting a mental health evaluation from a psychiatrist while you’re waiting.

You need a very well written letter from a psychologist that's the only way you even stand a chance.

Back in the day I had a squad leader (great guy, SSG at the time) with a Court Martial under his belt. He never said exactly what for and we never pushed. Obviously, there was no discharge involved and he was well on track to being a lifer. Clearly, these are different days, but I suppose anything is possible if you persevere! Don't despair and, as everyone else is saying, find the right recruiter.
