Question
I am prior navy. Was discharged with a RE-4 separation code HKA. Would like to enlist in Army National Guard. They told me i need a Waiver for Narrative Separation Reason/ SPD Granted for the ARNG. What does this mean and how do i go about doing this?
What a Waiver means is an Exception to policy absically. What do you have to do? The recruiter initiates it and its something that has to be completed more less internally. They may ask you to privide a statement, complete a credit check or just have a phone interview where the interviewer may ask you a series of wuestions where the decision to enlist you is decided at that point. Get with your recruiter and ask him or her what will be required of you..

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.
