How hard is it to get a waiver for unsatisfactory participation? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-hard-is-it-to-get-a-waiver-for-unsatisfactory-participation <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So my recruiter just called me and I&#39;m trying to re enlist into the NG, and we just found out I need a waiver to get back in. I&#39;m prior service army reservist and is it even worth the hassle to just get rejected? The reason I got out the first time my wife at the time said it was the army or her and the kids and so well I chose them and quit going to drill, now I&#39;m divorced and re married and my new wife is all for it.

I you truly want back in I would wait to see if the waiver gets approved or not.

Yes its entirely possible, I put a few back In myself, but you have to convince the commander you&#39;re in it for real this time. LORs from influential community members,business owners, and bosses will make a good impact and probably be required.

Why would you want to re-enlist in an organization where you don’t go to training/missions? Time to get real.

What did you learn from the previous experience. What is different that would stop you from doing the same if wife number 2 changed her mind after a deployment or two? Letters of rec from your direct supervisor where you work and others about your dependability etc would probably be very helpful.

Caution, no-one who has never served or been a dependent can ever say (unequivocally) that they understand and can handle it, whatever it is. <br /><br />While you work your waiver take your bride to meet others who serve and have frank and open discussions on service and the spouses sacrifice. <br /><br />Thank you for your service.

Are you still active National Guard or do you need to update your profile?

However I say go for it if you are seriously committed to the terms of enlistment. Like other&#39;s have stated what happens when the Army say you&#39;re deployed? Will the wife be GTG or will she want to bug out? Need to have a serious talk with yourself and your wife about the what if&#39;s. SPC David S.
