What is your separation code? You'll find it at the end of your reenlistment code.

Near to 0. But, what is your separation code? Is a 3 letter code after the RE code. One question? What guarantees the services that you will adapt this time?

You can only reenlist with a waiver.
You would be required to demonstrate that you have matured since your discharge. Evidence of that may include work/volunteer history, statements from supervisors/coworkers/etc.
Challenging your discharge would require documentation that substantiates you were given the wrong discharge to be successful, regardless of what some may suggest. The burden of proof is on you. Your statement alone, and any from other than the deciding official would carry little to no weight. The results of the Army Discharge Review Board and Army Board for Correction of Military Records results are available online.

You had your shot, and why would the service want to waste more assets on you if you couldn't make it the 1st time?

Before you go any further, you need to honestly ask yourself, why did you fail the first time? If you blame the service in any way for what happened, you have no business even trying to come back. So what was ths issue? Now, ask yourself - what have I done to change my life to fit the military lifestyle and expectations of my service? How long ago was it, and most importantly why do you want to go back in? The military isn't for everyone, it's why they have the failure to adapt as an option for separation. It might just not be for you. Im not gonna say zero chance, because nothing is impossible, especially if you have the right ambition and are willing to do the legwork needed to change your situation. However, you are at a SERIOUS disadvantage here. Most people aren't gonna be on your side after an FTA, and honestly why would they be? Your NCOs and leadership already put in a huge amount of effort to make you into what you should be. You failed them, so why wouldn't you fail again? This is the harsh reality, but if you want to try to come back in you'd better be ready for it. Either way, good luck to you in future endeavors, you may get a second chance, but you had better be on top of your game before you give it a shot.

Zero chance of re-upping with that code

Update: my waiver got approved the whole process took around 4 months start to finish. Keep your head up and don’t give up. Basic is in a month

Lee smith, I placed a copy of what it was/is. I served as a Training NCO, for multiple units & functions. What has changed in your life personally that you can would able to go back in and be model service man, with all the current changes in play? Please read the below Ch 11. Then answer.

Chapter 11 military discharges occur during the first 180 days of active duty for unacceptable performance on the grounds of inability, lack of reasonable effort, failure to adapt to the military and/or minor disciplinary infractions. Chapter 11 discharges occur in the Army, Army National Guard and United States Army Reserves.
