Unfortunately there is no clear cut answer to your questions. You need a waiver but the availability of a waiver is the true question. The Army is recruiting less and, therefore, waivers are harder to get as the proportion of fully qualified applicants to available slots increases. The same goes with the rank retention.. generally people lose rank, but it is a case by case basis. I suggest you bring your DD 214 and talk to an Army recruiter.

I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
