The only way to get the correct answer is to talk to your recruiter. Have him/her to find out what the issue is. If your last DD214 has honorable that’s what should be utilized. So you’ll need to have your recruiter to find out why they are not utilizing your last 214. Good luck to you...

So were you separated for the UNSAT? If so, how did you rejoin? Did you get a waiver?

The enlistment of all civilians is based on the needs of the Army. You are prior service who was trained and chose to separate. As long as there is a pool of untapped talent they will always go there first. Don’t give up, the available pool cones and goes with those who are otherwise qualified. Your chance will come, it is simply not automatic because you had a decent service record. Thank you for your service.
