What are the chances of him being able to re-enlist?
Just a quick question, what are the chances of him being able to re-enlist if he comes home now? I know he will have to wait 6 months to be able to do anything, but he WILL be able to re-enlist, correct? He was discharged for a medical reason and is waiting in Ship 05 now. He's upset, says it's like hell, and is just trying to get home. But I'm scared for that to happen because I don't know if he will ever be allowed back into the military. If he's NOT allowed to re-enlist into the Navy, is this true for ALL branches? Will he not be able to re-enlist in any of them? I feel so lost, no one can seem to give me answers.

Plausible, but it is very hard to get back in. I personally went through separations when it was Ship 17 back in July-August 2008 and have been working on re-enlisting literally ever since I got back. I was separated due to a medical injury i received while at boot camp. (Although they marked on my papers it was prior). The VA did hear my case and granted me a service connected injury and helped me get it fixed - and since it was ruled service connected I have my benefits for life.
His RE code will ultimately determine whether or not he can get back in, but I will tell you now that he most likely will have a RE3/E and that code requires a waiver. With military cut backs they aren't granting waivers like they used to.
As far as my case goes here it is 2012 now - over 4 years since I got out. I'm finally filling out papers on the Navy again. I have talked with the Army and was going to get back in there, but then the cut backs put a hold on that. It's been a long journey. But it's possible.If it is truly what he wants, he will need to stick with it and keep trying. Also, maybe he could file an appeal while he is there? Depending on his issue, I would highly recommend that. I really wish I would have done that and I would have if I knew then what I know now.
As far as other branches, as long as his RE code isn't a RE4/Fraudulent enlistment then any branch should give him a shot. Air Force usually won't take prior service though.Now, I'm no recruiter and all this information is based on what I've been through and have been going through so things may not be exactly the same for anyone else.
