I'll soon be graduating with a bachelor's degree in finance and economics so a double major. I have been out for almost a year and a half but I want to re-enlist. If I were to take the Army APFT today, I am very confident that I would be above 270. I am looking specifically into the Army, Navy or Air Force. I just want to look at all available options for myself.

Army is giving RE3 waivers at the moment (I'm currently doing the same). Depends on your ability to find a local recruiter who doesn't mind the extra paperwork and also what the RE-3 is for. I also used my GI bill to get my BS which my recruiter said was a big help on getting the RE3 approved. Good luck to you.

Definitely talk with your local recruiters and make sure you have a copy of your DD214 when you visit them.

Are you looking to go Active or in the Reserves? Are you completely out or in the IRR?

You will need a waiver because of RE-3. Why did you get it? No need to answer that's your business. You will also have to pass OPAT. Since you will have your smart papers. Why not ARNG officers program? Those who can't be NCOs becomes an officer. Just kidding. What was former MOS? Active is taking people so is guard.
