Question
My question is this.. the national guard is getting me a waiver so I can re enlist.. if the national guard can do it can the regular army?
The national guard belongs to the states unless called into title 10 status. That means states can set different recruiting thresholds and general qualities they'll accept. Your state may accept your RE but, the army in a downsizing mode may choose otherwise.

Expertise
I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. 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.
