Is it going to be impossible to get an ADHD waiver?

Review DoDI 6130.03, March 30, 2018, specifically Section 5.28.

That being said, your approval will depend on the approving authority upon review of said DoDI and their thoughts if your situation applies or not applies. The only way to truly find out is to have your Recruiter submit the waiver request and see what happens. Unfortunately, there can be no better answer.

Look man imma be real honest with you. I got out with an RE3. I went from active duty to guard. I picked a new job and showed up to my unit. During my stay the government was going through changes and it kept having the shut downs so I decided I’ll just go to my actual MOs and a unit closer to home. I was driving 6 hours one way to drill. So my unit found me a home and I show up. Come to find out the slot wasn’t there. I drilled that weekend and worked with my interstate person. I was sent discharge paperwork with a failure to report to my gaining unit. I worked my butt off for the waiver and it took over a year and 5 different recruiters before it was finally approved. You are asking for a waiver for patterns of misconduct during a time when the army isn’t really that desperate for people. There are many people trying to get in who have RE-1 and are still struggling. Be humble with your thought process. Getting your RE-3 isn’t going to be easy. When it got approved how ever many years you say it was is a completely different army than it is today. You need to show them this is what you really want and why. Consider this a job interview because if your recruiter feels you aren’t worth the hassle why would they work for you. Work the RE-3 waiver first. You need to see a recruiter regardless. I came here for guidance on my code as well and it’s true. Everyone’s journeys are different and circumstances are different. I wish you luck and suggest you get the ball rolling before another 5 years pass and you are still at square one.

In order to get the right answer you’re looking for, you would have to talk with a recruiter. We can say it’s easy based upon our own personal experience, however, the recruiter and the MEPS ultimately have the final say so. Good luck to you....
