Can I change my discharge code from RE4 to RE3, and will that allow me to enlist again?

PFC David Richards I have run into the same issues. I even had 2 recruiters up and vanish at the first scent of difficulty in the waiver process. I finally found one that is fighting for me. Unfortunately, my appeal is now sitting in the SG's office - and has been for quite some time. I don't know what more I can provide to show - I have passed several physicals at a higher rate than those more than half my age, and a letter from the chief neurologist at my local VA stating there are no issues, but here I sit, still waiting to get back into a field that is constantly screaming they are undermanned and can't get enough recruits.

You're recruiter told you a half truth. In 2006, I was a ARNG recruiter. I put several prior service johnnies in that had an RE3. After I interviewed them and felt comfortable with having them in my unit, it was merely a waiver process, depending on the characterization of service... getting that same waiver now would be nigh on impossible though as there is a moritorium on conduct waivers in the ARNG at this moment.

Well, I'm 42 years old now, and that just ain't happening.

CPT (Join to see) - I know that this is an old entry, but the situation has direct applicability to what I am currently attempting. I received an RE3 in 1999 due to a knee injury - as a result of what I assume at the time to be force draw-down, the PEB disregarded notes from my Company CO and Battalion XO requesting a reevaluation and I was Chaptered under pre-existing condition (hence the RE3). I was a Group 1 runner through BCT and was the only soldier to be promoted to E-2 at the end of BCT.
I was told that this was a death knell for my military career - but I tried to immediately reenlist in the Navy upon my Army discharge and was rejected. I immediately tried to reenlist after 9/11 and was rejected. It wasn't until a few years ago that I found out that I could get an RE3 "re-coded".
I am currently in discussions with the AZ ARNG about trying to enter as a Warrant within a demand MOS and they are stating that I may need to enter as enlisted to get the RE3 re-coded, then I could place my packet for Warrant. I am hesitant to enter as an E-4, as I would likely find it difficult to reach even E-7 before I would be forced out at 60.
I have dedicated my professional life to supporting warfighters and would very much like to be a part of the ranks again by bringing my specialized skills to bear - are you aware of a path to re-coding an RE3 that would not require reenlistment? I have several active duty officers, warrants, and enlisted members, as well as members of Congress who can vouch for my capabilities. Any information is highly appreciated.
