I live in Louisiana and want to re-enlist with an recode 3. Has anyone in the area or at all re-enlisted recently with that code. If you did what steps did you have to take.

SPC Jeremy Gaspard this is the most asked question on RP. There is a RP Topic page for this, click the About tab for resources. You can see the discussions with this tag. Only a current recruiter can answer this. It largely depends on the separation disposition Code. Depending on the issue, they may want documentation about what it was and why it is now fixed. Don't speculate here, go see a recruiter. https://www.rallypoint.com/topics/re-code

I needed a waiver for this. The letter you write to explain what you did to improve the conditions that led to the RE code 3 matters a great deal

SPC Josh Latu - Mine was for what the doc at Minot diagnosed as migraines. Turned out to be sinus headaches. I had a novel of documentation from the VA docs, as well as the head of neurology at my local VA (former Security Forces guy). I had letters of recommendation from some friends & acquaintances I have made over the years, one being a former JAG of the AF.
I would think that legal documentation pertaining to DUI would be a good start - completion of treatment, if ordered to do so by the court. Clean history since the incident, etc.

SPC Jeremy Gaspard I did. It took me 18.5 years (total, but not all consecutive in attempts) and 3 recruiters, but I did. Could not go back to Security Forces - said I was too old and had lost a little bit of hearing, so they wanted to avoid any further loss.
Once I found a recruiter who wasn't afraid of the fight, she knew the steps she needed. Had to get a waiver to get to go to MEPS. Once MEPS cleared me medically, had to get a waiver from the Air Force Surgeon General (since active Air Force were the ones that issued my initial RE3 honorable discharge).
I went back into the MO Air Guard. Didn't want to start all over again as a 40 year old E3 in active duty...LOL
