Hey Guys,
Earlier this month I received a discharge due to EPTS for my left shoulder from Ft. Benning where I was at OSUT for 11B.

About 7 years ago I broke my shoulder, it healed and I had absolutely no problems with it, went through MEPS they did not even need a waiver for it. When I was at basic training I just twisted it wrong, nothing to do with the previous injury, and it hurt pretty bad so I went to sick call to get some pain meds.

While there the doctor would not listen and told me that I had a previous injury he was going to EPTS me. I tried to get an RTD but medical would not change it. On my DD214 it even says "anticipate recovery to baseline condition".

I got a re-enlistment code of 3 which they told me meant I could come back, all I would need it a waiver for the shoulder to show that it truly is not a problem, which it isnt.

How long do I have to wait before I can re-enlist? etc what do I need to do?

Thanks in advance

David

Put this in the RE code thread, that is why it is open for prior service to post their RE code questions. Post closed. CPO Kalbach
