Looking to reenlist, need to know if I need a waiver
My situation is far from unique, but it seems recruiters have some major problems with it. The recruiter I had spoken to as of late said he would look into it, and has not returned any of the last 3 emails I had sent him. These were separated a week apart each time, as I know they are busy people.
I was in the National Guard, and want to reenlist into it.
I completed BCT, but was a 09S (Officer Candidate) and withdrew from OCS (long story why) and did not ship to Infantry School before my 2 year deadline, so I received a general discharge. I never received a DD214, or anything similar to it. So I have no clue what my official discharge code is, or whether or not I need a waiver to reenlist.
Anyone have some information they can throw at me, so when I go to the recruiters office tomorrow, I can get the ball moving?

Contact HRC. You have a DD214, and it will contain your reenlistment code.
1-888-ARMYHRC (1-888-276-9472)
I have access to login to HRC (contractor), and no DD214 was ever uploaded to my records. Also, I even contacted the national records people, and they said usually when a soldier doesn't complete AIT they don't issue a DD214.
That's crap. I know a few guys that have gotten out in BCT/AIT for a number of reasons and they all have 214s.
What this guy said. Everyone discharged from active duty get them. NG Soldiers may get a couple depending on if and when they went on active duty and for how long.
You'll also need it for your records when you apply for jobs, etc..
