So if I want to someday re-enlist into the Army or some other branch?
So my question is hypothetical, but I just want to ask just in case I ever do want to reconsider re-enlistment. So about 2 and 1/2 years ago I was discharged from the army with a RE-3 re-enlistment code and the narrative reason states a personality disorder. I joined the Army right as I turned 17 and got out shortly after I turned 18. To make a long story short, I was young and stupid with my head far up my . I didn't like to be told what to do and I didn't believe them when they told me that if I didn't follow the rules then they would kick me out. Well it turns out that they were serious. I got diagnosed with a personality disorder and I was sent home. Good thing that I was able to keep my education benefits. I am now finishing up my bachelor's in a few months and fully plan on starting on my master's in January. I have been seeking treatment for depression and sought counseling for another issue involving my unresolved childhood issues with my parents. Both mental health professionals have told me that they do not believe that I have a personality disorder and they have doented their beliefs for me. I do take an anti-depressant for my own benefit but I can function without it, I just don't seem to get as much done. So with my getting my life back together, and finishing college, and having doctors establish that I do not have a personality disorder, what would my chances of going back into the military be? Obviously I wouldn't want to re-enlist again. I would want to commission because I will have my bachelor's and possibly my masters at the point of wanting to go back in.
