Ssgt. Petz. I was wondering if you know what all I would need to do to reenlist into the Reserves (the PSR checklist you talked about). I was a Lcpl. I have an Honorable discharge with an RE-3p for unwavered hearing loss and tinitus upon entry "Medical Discharge". "MEPS didn't catch it". I just turned 29 yrs old Oct 7th. I've been off Active Duty since 02/2000. I have had no disability, or benefits awarded to me. All I have is my DD-214, and all of my medical record. I live in Utah. I am a Wildland Firefighter, and it is very physical, and do hearing tests every year as well. I havn't had any proems there!
I thought it was a lost cause after talking to a couple of PSR's. The last one told me it was impossible because my "term of service agreement was up". ????? But then I talked to a local recruiter here, and he said all he thought needed to be done was to change my RE code and get a waiver.
If that is true, how do I go about changing my RE code?
Can I do it myself? Or does a Recruiter have to do it?
What all would I need (paperwork), to go about changing it?
Does the Jan 10th date apply to Reserves as well?
Thanks for all of your time, and support Staff Sergeant! Oorah....

EAS was July 2009. 22 years old, RE-1a, E-4. From what I've ready I should begin a package with recruiters so that when Jan 2010 comes they can send it up? What are my chances of keeping my MOS(0311), returning to my previous unit(1/4), and keeping my rank? I apologize if most of this information has been covered.

I have been speaking with an Army Recruiter and starting the process of enlisting in the Army Reserve. No offense meant to any Marine, but this recruiter has been 10 times better than any Marine Corps Prior Service Recruiter I spoke/dealt with. He calls me with updates when he gets them, returns my phone calls and e-mails, and has generally put forth a lot of effort. The Army Recruiter is also acting much more professional towards me and not treating me like garbage.
The USMC PS Recruiters I dealt with never called me, didn't return phone calls or emails, and pretty much didn't want to do anything to help me or help my process. He wasn't on top of things and was pretty lazy.
My experience with the USMC Prior Service Recruiter was pretty depressing. I like to think the words "Semper Fi" mean something......I didn't see that in my experience.
Again, no offense meant to any Marines or Recruiters. This is just my experience and opinion.

I am going to assume that if I get my entire packet together, to include all forms, photo, and other required paperwork..it would make it that much more appealing for a PSR to work with me.
Any comments or personal experiences with this tactic?

you want to PM NoRemorse about getting your RE code changed, he's the resident know it all about that since he went through it.
after that it's true that it's nothing more than a waiver and a PSEP package. You can do AD after jan '10 but it'll go fast and your paperwork probably won't be done by then, but reserves has way more openings than that. That PSR must be an idiot as they can write guys who've fallen off contract just like a normal recruiter, though I think he didn't want to do the extra leg work.
keep me posted on your progress.

Anyone have a list of places the package goes through? My PSR told me but It was confusing on where and why it goes to those places. He says that it could be kicked back for any stupid reason including having an ugly mug in the photo, and to expect at least one kickback anytime.
