It is possible. But it will be very difficult. Start by talking to a recruiter. There are a number of hoops to jump through to re-enlist when you have an RE3 Discharge. First and formost will be to demonstrate a real desire to serve and NOT commit the same offense again.

if it's been longer than 5 years since you got out of the service just fax a copy of your dd2214 and a completed SF-180 to the VA in St. Louis. if you have any problems with this just ask me, i do this for soldiers in my battalion 5-6 times a week

Well, i am married (mil to mil) and if he gets married after basic training he might be a hold over, waiting for them to process all his paper before he heads to his A School. So i would tell him he might want to do it now and let the recruter do the paper filing and whatever else he needs to do. That is the recruters job, to do paper work or whatever needs to be done for your son to work for uncle sam. Dont let the recruter be lazy if he is acting lazy, it's a military thing. LOL If he gets married before boot camp then everythig will fall into place and him and his wife can be together as soon as he gets out of A School and he will have nothing to worry about other than finding a house. If you need anything feel free to e-mail me   tink41503@yahoo.com

I had this private years ago who disobeyed a lawful order. I told him 3 times to do someting while we were in a truck. After the 3rd time I told him, he sucker punched me and was flailing me pretty good. I reached up, took the good old angle flashlight off of my LBE(it had one extra ring on it from an old flashlight) and hauled off and smacked that dude into next week with it. He got court marshaled,I got transfered out of that crappy unit that babied him to the point he thought he could get away with such things.He had a blsck eye for 2 months and a bad conduct discharge. THATS the best use of an angleheadflashlight I had.

Find out his branch, unit, theater of operations, and years served.  Then research his unit and try to find it on the web.  I am in the process of doing the same thing.  If you need help contact me via e-mail I may be able to help a little more if I know the specifics.  monkeyshine39@yahoo.com

I wish you the best.  I don't think they will make him. I know the last deployment that i went on we had a guy that had 2 kids with minor disabilities and he was told that he could have gotten out of the deployment because of it.  His kids are able to go to a normal but do have some problems.  The fact that your husband is working full time and going to school full time might show that he dose not need to be at home so that might be a problem.  You might what to talk to your congressmen about it they can be a big help call his office.  I don't think your husband should be excused but i do understand what you are going though.  I wish you the best

I have been through this same thing you are going through. (My husband is active duty in the military too BTW) When he got nice all of a sudden it was because he was having an affair. So I don't think he will keep the new changes. My advice is to be cautious.

Try contacting the Military branch he served in.  If you get the runaround, try contacting the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars.)  They may be able to help you or, at least, point you in the right direction.

There are a lot of things that can exclude you from joining. Talk to a recruiter. Be open and honest about everything. If you lie or hide the truth, and they find out, you can get kicked out with probably an OTH (Other Than Honorable) discharge.

correct u mundo!! there isnt such a thing as a military divorce. as the old saying goes??? if the military wanted you to have a wife they would have issued you one!! best to go to a civilian attorney and get some legal advice on what to do. fo the most part the military will stay out of the divorce and seperation process. now the one exception is that once a  divorce decree is issued and you are ordered to pay child support or spousal support. if you fail to do so then you can be in violation of the ucmj and face the music. so my advice is if you can work it out do so, or otherwise get the hell out of the military, because your spouse will have you by the balls as long as you are in uniform. she only has to call your commander to complain and you will be standing tall before the man.

Ours has been discharged now for about a year and a half and we are in the process of purchasing a 4 bdr, 2bth home. So far we have the home but are now looking for a piece of land to put it on. All we had to do was show proof of discharge and what all was paid off in it. Since you have no money to put down I would check around and find out what ya had to have down. If you had to have a down payment I would try to get a co-signer, or look into FHA, HUD or Section 8 or any Government loan programs to see if I could get help from any of them. Good luck and wish ya the best..... :0)

You may be able to go into a judge and get it taken off your record.  It it was long enough ago and its not something that you have any connection to now.  Its worth a try.  I have known people who have them taken off their record for joining the military, so i'm sure they can do it for other things.

I think by your name you may be a Marine.  Crimes are crimes, and some, can be forgiven with hard work and a real change.  I am an NCO and I have seen troops grow up and take their duty and the rules seriously.  You can change, even if you get discharged.  You can ALWAYS choose the right path, just hope it is not to late, like for Tookie Williams.  Chose to change too late.

Well, conmsidering he is active duty you're either living in government housing or paying rent/mortgage out of his governemnt paycheck since he gets an allowance for housing right? Either way, he's responsible for the house, so technically he has every right to stay there and can order you to leave. I don't think the court will think that his divorce reason is valid if you 2 are still living together though.

First of all, congratulations to your husband for choosing to serve his country by enlisting in the Army.  He chose to do a tough job that is certainly needed and I hope that you and your family support him in this decision.\n\nYes, there is a chance that he will be deployed somewhere during his time in the Army.  Some get deployed to Afghanistan, some to Iraq, some even get deployed to Hawaii; soldiers go everywhere around the world.\n\nIt sounds like he is in a career field that is considered to be a  "non-combatant".  That means while working he would not normally carry a firearm but would be one of the people to treat those that were injured or wounded.  This is a respected position in the Army.\n\nI wish both of you the best as you enter the Army family.  Please take a look at the Army website, paying particular attention to the posts and installations that he may be stationed.  At the bottom of the Army home page there is a link called "A to Z".  From here you can find the sites to all of the forts.\n\nGood Luck!

My husband was 18 when he joined the Army.It was his choice to go or not.He knew what he could be dealing with.He's now 25 and went and fought the war when it first started.Now he's out the Army and wishes he was still in.I don't think its a crime,I think some young men have the will and some just are not meant to be in the Army.What ever it is they make the choice.
