As a former Navy Recruiter based on your RE code it is waiverable at Cruitcom level. With that being said, as MCPO Jerald Motyka stated if your rate is over manned and if a waiver is granted you will have to retrain, but no big deal if you truly want to serve.
I suspect you will need to make a written request with details of the discharge and what you did to remedy any possible future PFA concerns. You will need to present yourself as a very dedicated and physically fit person who understands consequences of not meeting any Naval standard.
Approximately 50% of my enlistees required a waiver of some sort during the Gulf War, but as mentioned by others we are in a draw down and they may very well simply say no.
I wish the best!!

One last thought, there is always the Guard and Reserves to consider. They might be more willing to waiver your RE code.

I do appreciate the feed back, thank you for the outlook on a bigger picture. I recently had a friend that was in standard but they still taped him because he didn't meet the weight was off by 6lbs. He was allowed to come back in. Do you know if the navy is hurting for females per-say? I have all my documentation and 3 letter of recommendation from my previous command. I think any little bit will work. I don't mind if I have to reclassify as something eles. But thank you so much

I'm not aware of any specific quotas but would encourage you to pursue re-enlistment if all your ducks are lined up.
Should you be lucky enough to get back on active duty don't forget how easy it is to become complacent and no employer desires this. It's a career and the expectations are higher and the demands are greater than a civilian employer, so one must step up and have a different perspective about careers than just a first termer who walks away.
Good luck!

As a Current navy recruiter, your chances are great talk to your local recruiter. But, before going that far watch the video online to ensure you do meet the standards. Some commands want it lower for single point measurements.

Yes, I had the same question well, not really but maybe some examples of ways people were able to get the COMNAVCRUITCOM Waiver (which allows those with a re entry code RE-3F to re enlist).

I do not know how long you were in the Navy, but if discharged an E-4, you cannot have even one day longer than four years of active service; otherwise, you would not be able to meet the HYT requirement per COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8J (The recruiting manual).
Female are in demand; however, you must still meet the other requirements including your rating's availability. If not undermanned, you would have to attempt to go into other ratings. It will require ECM approval to do so.
I assume the new NAVADMIN your recruiter may be referring to is the one that changed the process of determining whether one passes the new ht/wt/bf standard that includes, now, the additional abdominal circumference measurement step (Females with a 35.5 inch waist now pass standard regardless -- if that measurement is met, then the BF measurement is not required no matter what the weight). It officially went into effect Jan. 1.

NCCM, I have question, I was an E-6 (CS1) 14yrs in service when I got out with RE-3F code 5 years ago. I lost a lot of weight and with the new PFA standards I will definitely make it. I just want to retire. What should I do or where do I start?
