How long does it take to get an RE-3 code waiver? Has anyone done that before?

I did it in 2007 and it was a matter of weeks. Some take longer, some are quick. It all depends on the separation code and/or circumstances.

SSG (Join to see) hit it on the head. Sometimes there are mandatory waiting periods, sometimes it is based on the Army demands. It could take months, even up to a couple years.

Jon Ragland I have been working on mine for 18 years. I've gone through three recruiters - they all up and disappeared at the first sign of difficulty. The recruiter I have now is a bulldog, and my final processing paperwork is sitting on the CMOs desk at MEPS.
Documentation is key. Anything and everything that has to do w/ what your discharge was for, and that it is no longer an issue, or would not prevent service is a MUST. Letters of Recommendation don't hurt, either; the heavier the sleeves/shoulders, the better.
