The doctor said it was just shock and ever since I've been running almost everyday and working out and my feet have not been bothering me. What would be my chances of getting back in with a waiver ?

Well, I guess it just depends on the reasoning of your discharge. I recently received a waiver because I also had an RE 3 discharge in 2014. I screwed around in AIT, and ended up getting discharged. After a while of being back home, I just felt horrible that I didn't honor my word and fulfill my contract. I got with a National Guard recruiter in July of this year. We went over my paper work, and he submitted my paperwork for a suitability review, and I got approved. Then the TAG General here in my home state signed my waiver and it was sent to the NGB and they sent me to MEPS for a physical, and two days later I was accepted back in. This whole process took about three months. You just have to be pretty passionate about your efforts of getting back in, and find a recruiter who is willing to work with you. Good luck!

What was your separation narrative? I have my entire file from the Army and I am starting the process myself to reenlist with RE3 that I received for a temporary illness. Did you have to write statements, do interviews, etc etc? Good on you for being persistent.

There's no way to quantify a "chance." You can't get a 10%, 50%, 90%, whatever.
It's a shot in the dark, as the approving doctors quite literally have complete authority.
All you can do is have your Recruiter submit it and hope for the best.

A Recruiter can find out what the requirements are to be approved. It's on a case by case basis like PV2 Zehner said.
