I am currently at Army AIT and I have less than 180 days of Active Duty Service. If I get chaptered out of the Army under Chapter 11, than I know that I have to wait 90 days until I can reenlist, because it's marked under ELS and it's uncategorized. My question is that for the reenlistment code, would be marked as a 1 or if it is uncategorized than would it still allow me to reenlist in "ANY" branch of military after 90 days?

You should receive an RE3 and you will be a pariah to every other branch because your an initial entry separation. If you can't make it through school in the branch that takes everyone, it's a red flag to all the other branches that you are a bad investment to them.
If you search through the site you'll see questions from other entry level separation people who are now unable to get back into any branch.

Check it out young man, you need to take that work and motivation you put into looking up this information and drive it towards your pt. You're not out of the Army yet, so all hope isn't gone. It is going to be much easier for you to pass your pt test than it will be to get out and get back in.

It should also be pointed out that you're not guaranteed an Uncharacterized Entry Level Separation just because you havee less than 180 days. Your commander can still separate you under any applicable chapter. He could choose to separate you for APFT failure and give you a General Under Honorable discharge characterization.

What is the Reenlistment code for APFT marked as ELS and can you reenlist in any military branch?

Need to check with the recruiter, or the unit clerk for help on that question.

Have they started the chapter paperwork? What even have you failed or are in danger of failing? The best course of action is to not fail the APFT. If you do get out, what makes you think that you would be able to pass the APFT to get back in?

In addition I know that if I received a "1" than that would allow for me to reenlist; however I am unsure as to whether or not I can reenlist if it is marked as "uncategorized".

You will receive an RE3 which requires a waiver.

Not sure how you would get a 1 for a reentry code based off a chapter unless it was Family Care Plan or pregnancy. You don't fall under either so I would not plan to get a 1 if I were you. Your best bet is to just pass your APFT like is required of all Soldiers.
