What options are there for a RE4 status change?

Been seeing a lot of posts about RE4, mostly Navy, but not much on getting it changed. Recruiters cant do a waiver and am looking for any other options. Been out for a year and want to re enlist. Any ideas?

There are ways to get it changed. Dont listen to those that already assume that your a shitbag and you made a mistake. Follow the steps and expect to be told no 1 or 2 times. Pony up for a lawyer if ya have to. It's not impossible not improbable worst they could say no.
