I joined the navy last year but got separated with code RE-3G . I know I would need a waiver but I want to know if there’s anything I have to do before getting it waived. Also how long do I have to wait to re-enlist. Is it hard to get it waived ? It was for anxiety but I had something horrible happen before I left but to personal to post. But joining the navy has always been something I always wanted to do since I was little so if anyone has any information please let me know.

Have any and all medical documents and info that you would need. It will help you a lot to have that already. I don’t know what RE-3G is. This may not apply to you, but I know a lot of people that had to go to their local doctor because they didn’t meet this requirement or that one while at MEPS. So they go to their local doctor and have whatever it is checked out. For example...I failed the depth perception test at MEPS but was able to have it tested With my local eye doctor. They submitted that with my other paperwork when applying for my waiver. It took 2 days. The more documentation you have of it not being an issue the better I think.

Talk to a recruiter.
As someone who needed a waiver for a previous surgery and was considered PDQ (permanently disqualified) for a separate issue (screwed up toenails) I was still able to enlist... Basically I had to show one thing...
That the previous issue no longer applied to me. This is the case for allot of issues that bar service in the military. (Short of a permanent medical issue or convictions of heinous crimes) If the issue was awhile ago, and you have paperwork from qualified individuals who have determined you to have recovered with little to no chance of relapse, then you'll be good to go. It just might take awhile.
Don't be scared of waivers. For some issues they are incredibly common and go through easily. Others require longer amounts of time and scrutiny but can still be approved.
There's a silver lining. You're eligible to reenlist with a waiver... They are willing to enlist you eventually, so follow your dream and show the Navy you want to wear the uniform :)

Angelica Sanchez luckily I haven't had to deal with that. A lot of people on here are active duty and don't have much time to devote to answers, meanwhile a reservist waiting to ship to training (like myself) has allot of time and I'm very eager to help people with their questions. Just keep at it, you'll find good information on this app :) (PS, since it's the military, learning to shit talk is a good skill to have, just so long as you respect rank) :)
