Question
Hello Howard,
Thank you for being here.
I want to go back to the navy.
I will be 42 in May, if there are such things as age waivers.
I've left twice now. My Reentry code is RE-3M.
All prior duty as a Hosptial Corpsman E4 and discharged 15 FEB 04 to Tasmania in Australia.
Completed Bachelor of Applied Science (Maritime Technology Managment) at Australian Maritime College 2006.
If there were any chance, given age and reentry code (What does RE-3M mean anyway?)
I was hoping to have a crack at the Supply Corps.
Alternatively (again if there were any hope) I'd entertain any ideas at all.
Thank you for taking the time to address my question, I greatly appreciate your time.
Sincere regards,
Shane
Not sure what the current age waiver is allowed for Navy active duty, that you will have to get thru the recruiter. The RE-3M means currently ineligible to re-enlist unless you get a ComNavRecruitCom Waiver. This is a waiver that is given by the Navy Recruiting Command.

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
