What are incentives for an RE waiver? What is the process for submitting them?

So a few months back I came on here about a mental health waiver and such. Back in April I actually got my waiver approved to go to MEPS. I went to MEPS, passed my asvab and my physical however i wasn’t able to sign a contract because I needed an RE waiver. This meant I needed to take the navy PFA, gather some references to write letters of recommendation for me and type up some reasons whyd I’d like to join the navy and give this whole experience a try again seeing as to how I was discharged from coast guard boot camp back in 2019. I handed in everything for my RE waiver on May 10th 2021. Today (July 8th) I got news I need more incentives for my waiver. If anybody could help give more clarification as to what incentives are, what that means, the next steps of that, etc. Back in May i was told this last RE waiver wouldn’t take as long as the first medical waiver and was ready to sign a contract to leave late September. Now I’m unsure of the next steps in figuring out when or if I can leave o Great Lakes. Any help, tips, or experience with this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

If you've never been in the service before, how would you need to have an RE (Reentry Eligibility) waiver?

I don't know what you wrote, but look in your heart and write down why you want to go back into the service. What do have to offer them and what steps will you take to ensure that you are an asset to your unit/boat and to the service? If you were discharged from boot camp due to stress, depression, or anxiety what will be different this time? How will you handle stress when it gets worse during deployments or emergencies?

That RE isn’t getting waived. Sorry to be blunt, but BH issues are usually not waived

Any recruiter would be your best source.
