Hi my name is Alana, I served in the Air Force up until early 2012. I was honorably discharged with an re code 3c. I was young and unsure of myself and my plans for the future, I enlisted because most of my family had before me and because I didn’t know what else to do. I had always questioned my gender and never felt comfortable in my own skin, I think in a way I had also hoped that the military would help distract myself from those thoughts and feelings, as I still was unaware of transgender people at that time. However my gender dysphoria did not cease in fact it worsened and I became more and more depressed. I started seeing a therapist but was too terrified to express the true nature of my depression, honestly I was afraid if I told her that they would put me in a psychiatric hospital or something. I was discharged with a “failure to adapt”. I am now almost 18 months transitioned after finally finding out about transgender people and I want to re-enlist I have my eyes set on the Army. I want to prove to myself and the rest of the country that transgender people are just as capable of serving our country. I know I can be a valuable asset. I need to know if there is even much of a chance for me. I am fully aware of Trump’s potential ban and this does not dissuade my decision, it fuels it. What is the likelihood of me re-enlisting?

To be honest, that kind of enlistment code could effect your packet. Best way to know for sure is speaking to a recruiter. That way you won't need online research or even random strangers to prove to you why this or that isn't feasible.

I've personally never met a prior service person who had that code at discharge but then got back into another branch later on. Love to know the results.

this is solid advice - the recruiter/s will have the latest and greatest concerning prior service attempting to come back to serving. Good Luck in your endeavors

No answer you get here will be as good as marching down to a recruiter.
