Why were you discharged?

Try to elaborate...MOS then? Assocs? Bach? What MOS now? Would you think about other svcs? Did you want senior enlisted ultimately? Warrant? Commissioned? What are yur specific ambitions, motivations, objectives? Hobbies? Readin g interests? Sports, esp martial arts if any? Have out been running? Can you do 2 miles in 18 minutes in fatigues in boots, or 1-1/2 miles in 12 mins? Those were the run times for Army ROTC for me, then for USSF OTS when I switched...what civilian work have you done since? Level? Type? Field? Supervisory at all? I gather pure wanting Army, however, you can't exclude the other svcs, if you'd be at all able to be considered, I'm merely saying hat for sake of encouraging you to be flexible in outlook, that's all, honest...as to what happened, and getting a waiver, that I can't help you with...obviously, it's no my place to ask, certainly...I'm assuming, given tour description, that it might be something that might need to go to a waiver board of some type...when I'd gone USAF OTS, after Army ROTC, I was initially denied, I had to appeal, I wrote a really long explanatory letter that was forwarded by the USAF OTS recriers, who were separate from the actual enlistment reccruiter who in-processed me after I was accepted on the second try...then I had to go through USAF OTS twice to get through it, I was recycled the first time, so while I haven't seen everything you're going through, I've seen a fair fraction of similar circmstances...that being said, the more you relate, the more I and/or others on here might be able to suggest, honest...if you'd want clinical, if you're Bach level or higher, you could also try for USPHS Commissioned Corps, or, if you're a STEM grad, you could try for the NOAA Commissioned Corps...however, to be able to know how best to suggest tings for you, we'd all need to know a whole slew more, a good deal, so, take the time, if you can, and do a really thorough, detailed biosketch, so far as you can, so we have more background, OK? Believe me, we've all done career/educ questions like yours a zillion times on here, and I always generally wind up having to make the same speech...give us specifics, so far as you're able, so we can try to give you soecrics in tpreturn, OK? I'd be most eager to hear more, try to be as concrete and explicit as you can, also...grades? GPAs? Specific course titles taken, not merely degree names and/or levels, if at all possible, as well, OK? Hope that was all of some use, no rush, take as much time as you'd need to type it all up in adequate detail, OK?
