Hey, I got discharged under Chapter 11 from the Army and was wondering if it’s possible to rejoin? IDK if there’s a waiting period or something I need to know. Anyone been through this or have any advice?
Yeah, you can rejoin but it depends on your discharge details and the Army’s policies right now. You’ll need to talk to a recruiter to figure out if you’re eligible. Some cases need a waiver.

Thanks! Didn’t know about the waiver thing, I’ll check with a recruiter. How long does that take though?

It varies, honestly. It depends on the Army’s needs and your specific case. A recruiter can give you a better idea of the wait time.
I had a Chapter 11 too and the process to rejoin took a couple months for me, but again it all depends on the circumstances.

Good to know, thanks! Hope it’s a quick process for me.
A recruiter told me there’s no set timeframe for getting a waiver. It all depends on how busy the Army is and your case. Can’t really say how long it’ll take.

Ugh, that’s frustrating. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see then.
I’ve heard it’s like a case-by-case thing, some people get waivers quicker than others. I’d start talking to a recruiter ASAP.

Yeah, I’m going to reach out to one today. Fingers crossed!
Definitely talk to a recruiter. They’re the ones who can tell you everything you need to know about timing and eligibility.
