Question
Hello i was in the national guard until about a year ago and was discharged for failing a UA test. I was curious if there was any way i could enlist again but as active duty in the army.
It all depends on your DD214. If your discharge characterization is anything but 'honorable' then you'll require a waiver. You also need to look at your RE Code.. I suspect its a 3 and that pretty much nixes the deal. You'll need a moral waiver if you're even eligible to to apply again. All in all, you're in for a very tough road and will probably not be allowed to rejoin.
