As CPT Lawrence Cable stated, talk to a recruiter. That will always be the source of the most accurate answer if you're exploring reenlisting.

Specific to your situation, on your NGB 22 you should have an entry in block 26 (Reenlistment Eligibility) next to the RE code which is the separation code. Refer to NGB Regulation 600-200* para 6-35 to match up the details of your separation code.

Why? Because all RE-3 code are not the same and the waiver will depend on the separation code. For example, even though someone was separated for misconduct and given a RE 3 code, there are certain types of misconduct that DoD will not allow the Services to give a waiver for.

You Can Get An RE-3 For A Few Different Reasons, Misconduct, Medical, Failure To Get Promoted Or Your Command Didn’t Want You To Reenlist, Whatever Reason ! Talk To A Recruiter

Talk to an Army Recruiter?
R3 means you require a waiver. What you need a waiver for will determine how easy or impossible it will be to re-enlist. The is also a Separation Code on line 26 of a DD214, don't remember on an NGB22, that will give reason for the R3.

Again, talk to a recruiter. They will know what they can and cannot get waivered.
