This question is very specific and I'd like only people who've experienced it(recruits and recruiters) to answer it please.
Have you successfully enlisted with a waiver for a personality disorder? If you did, would you mind sharing your story with me? I can in a PM if you want to share it publicly.
I just want some insight on my chances to re-enlist.

I can look at our medical waivers and give you an answer, I work at the largest Army recruiting BN. If you want to send me your documents I can read them and give you my best guess, but a lot of what the above comments stated are true.

For now your DD214 if you had prior service, and a general synopsis of diagnosis, duration of treatment, and current situation.

Go see a Recruiter and ask.
But be aware you will be denied to even try to process if you're taking medication, and if you've been off, you will need records of -everything- you've ever taken as well as a note from the prescribing doctor saying you've been off of it for years-- and even then, it probably won't be approved. For perspective, people aren't even being approved for ADD in high school after years in college.

On a list I saw on an Army site, ADD was listed as a permanent disqualifier. Personality Disorder wasn't on that list though.

That site probably also said somewhere that the list was far from all-encompassing, and to go see recruiter for the most up-to-date information.
There are far more disqualifying factors for the Army than any website will give you.

Extremely unlikely. However, every waiver is done by the DA Surgeon. Submit your documents and say a prayer. If you want an honest opinion , it's most likely going to be disapproved.

I'm the meantime make sure you extend your enlistment contract to the maximum...
That will allow you time to research etc.
If you are a unit member you would NOT see a Recruiter as you are not enlisting but already a u it Member. You would follow the chain of command as we were ALL taught and start with your First Line Leader
You have some bad information here be cautious ok.
