Likeliness of reenlisting in the Navy after getting a Chapter 11 from the Army?
So I went to Army basic training for the National Guard and made it to my seventh week before I hurt my back and couldn't do the longer ruck marches. I tried a few times to complete the 12k but couldn't do it because of a pinched nerve that would get irritated wearing the assault pack for so long. I ended up getting a chapter 11 because it. I plan on seeing a doctor now and working out to strengthen my back and I want to try to reenlist in the Navy, what are my odds of them letting me in? I have a reenlistment code of 3 with an uncharacterized discharge.
Also would it be easier to perhaps join the Navy reserves than active duty?

I know folks who have gotten back in with an RE-3C code, Also look at the reason for discharge, it is a 3-letter code (e.g., MBK) and that tells you why you are out. Presently none of the forces have any issues meeting their recruitment demands so going active is not going to be easy.
My suggestion -- see if you are IRR or can join/reenlist in the IRR. Then after a bit try for a reserve unit. From there if you are mobilized for over 180 days you can request to stay on active duty. if you manage 1035 days you are on the active rolls.
This may not work because of your reason but it is valid for most anyone who got out due to Article 15s (Captain's Mast) or other non-criminal reason.

If the Army felt you could not do the work due to a back problem they would have boarded you out on a medical under Chapter 61. They did not do that. They felt you were just not adapting so they gave you a Chapter 11. There is no logic of any service or reserve unit to take a chance on you.
Get use to civilian life.

hi, my son is likewise @ feet Benning dealing with the attitude of being chaptered out/ he replaced into informed the financial disaster replaced into both 5-11 or 5-17. they are each and each same for discharges, yet for emotional/motives and coping with militia existence. If someone is enlisted lower than 6 months, they are seen get admission to level. i imagine it really is an administratiive level and typically a , uncomplicated discharge. there are the type of vast quantity of ameliorations and cases in the military criminal guidelines that it absolutely relies upon on the fellow impediment. My son graduated problem-free besides the indisputable fact that remains lower than 6 months enlisted/ alot of red tape invlolved a twin of having contained in the military. For him start up to end 3 weeks. Thats a couple of minutes in holding such as his commander. I realized a lot on my own the way it particularly works...i am going to attempt that could help you already recognize whats occurring and the steps he's taking in case you want. each and each of the first-class, (military mom)

The fact that you had gone in the Army before will disqualify you from the Navy. If you have already had back issues going into the Navy will not help you. You may want to think about not serving in the military.

even though the Navy Recruit Manual states anyone with under 180 days of federal active service (or someone that has not graduated basic training) are considered 'non-prior service' for enlistment purposes, i am afraid i will have to burst your bubble - the Navy will look at you as PRIOR SERVICE and they haven't placed a prior service applicant in almost 3 years now - so active duty WILL NOT happen for you.

RE-3 - Individuals who are not qualified for continued Army service, but the disqualification is waiverable. Ineligible for enlistment unless a waiver is granted.

NO ! The Air Force,& the Navy are the two hardest branches to get in to. ( USN-Ret. ).
