I am sure there are regs covering time periods required or types of discharges received, but if you served honorably, then yes.

There are a lot of variables. <br /><br />For example I think of the rapper Soldier Hard that in one of his songs he raps about how he went AWOL and got in trouble and kicked out and then after 9/11 he felt guilty and they let him back in, but if it was today and the Air Force I&#39;m pretty sure they wouldn&#39;t have let him back in.
