I was medically retired, but I want to continue service. Is there anyway to reenlist if I am able to get my conditions under control?

I was MEB for asthma and vocal cord dysfunction. The asthma was always controllable with the inhaler, but the vocal cord dysfunction made my life miserable. I have been getting adequately treated for the vocal cord dysfunction and it is almost never a problem, unfortunately the asthma is what put me in the "retired" status. Is there anyway to get back?

A son really appreciates that I know who I am and know where I am. That same son tells me I should enjoy being a has-been rather than a never-was. SPC Dakota Irvine

If you were medically retired, you received an RE-4 and will need to have that upgraded before being able to join again

Apply for review to the discharge board. Keep in mind, they only upgrade if the discharge was in error. If you were medically retired, odds are it wasn’t an errorSPC Dakota Irvine

You could serve in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. They support the coasties and carry out real world missions all while being civilians. Texas, if that's where you are also has the Texas Guard which is the state militia and is the third branch of the state military department (ANG and ARNG being the other two).
