Question
 I am interested in your services if you think you can help. Here is my situation;
         Sep. 04' I was honorably disharged from Indiana ANG for fraudulent entry.
                - I wanted out due to personal reasons back home, overheard that revelation of
                   private drug use would get me discharged quickly, so I told the drug officer
                    that I had used marijuana and ecstasy on 2 occasions. (though I have never
                    done drugs).  The drug officer asked me why I told him this and I said it was
                    because I wanted out.   (Before seeing him, I tried to get out through other
                     means such as; conscientious objector, back problems, and migranes,
                     though I was not successful)
                - I was discharged immediately., I was 19.  My re-entry code reads: Ineligible
 I am highly interested in getting back into the military, I am ashamed of what I did, I did it because I received a 'dear john' letter and was trying to do anything to get back home and 'fix' things.  I was not in the right state of mind at the time that I made these decisions, and research would support that at that age I could not fully understand the consequences of my decision.
 - I believe that I should have recieved a discharge for fraudulent seperation not entry, and am seeking to upgrade my reentry code.  Also seeking any possible waivers for reentry seeing as I HAVE NOT actually taken the drugs that I admitted to.  thank you for your help and your service to our country, David

Answer
Sorry late answering I was away for military training.

You will have a hard time getting back in due to lying.  If you tell the MEPs that you lied to get out you will be disqualed for psyciatric reason, and if you admit to taking extasy, you will not be allowed in for drug use,  you might get by on the lying thing, but the chances are slim.  Very few waivers are being granted right now.
