Normally no, but it depends on your discharge code, and other factors. Right now they need people, so it may be easier to get reinstated.

This would depend on a number of things. What was the medical discharge for? What is your reenlistment code? Has your medical condition that caused the discharge been fixed by a doctor and is it properly recorded in your records? I doubt this last one, if your condition could be fixed you would not have been discharged. Did you recieve a medical discharge or a medical retirement? If you recieved a retirement, was it a temporary retirement or a permanent retirement? You leave a lot of questions unanswered.

No
Well that's a bit harsh. It really depends on the type of discharge as well as your REENLISTMENT code. Not 'discharge code' like #1 said.
If you have an RE-4 there's no chance in all the world to get back in. If it's RE-3 or lower, there's some chance.
You might even talk to your Congressman to see if you could get your Reenlistment code changed and why your want it changed.

Yes, it is possible. If you had a Medical Board and were officially found Unfit for Duty and medically separated, either a medical retirement or severance pay, you could theoretically return to duty if you provide the medical evidence from your doctor that your condition has improved enough to allow you to perform all military duty.
Of course, not all medical conditions will get better, but some do, and I personally know of soldiers who have returned to duty after being medically boarded out.

It depends upon your rank, type of dicharge and discharge code. I was discharged for medical reasons as an E-4 and I am able to reenlist if my medical condition changes. Good luck and talk to a recruiter.

Yes, but it requires a voucher from a doctor, unfortunately I dont know what kind or where. I did have a buddy join back up after a medical discharge, hell even a guy who lost his leg is a marine again.
I know that even a dishonorable discharge can be waived now. another buddy who went awol and they let him go after signing some stuff is now back in the service.

It depends on why you were medically discharged.It would have to some real serious before they discharged you in the first place, so your chances aren't very good, but give a a try anyway.

No, if you were medically discharged that means you cannot reabilitate to the point of serving again. Such as heat stroke kills your carreer since after you have one you are really prone to have another.

I doubt it, but you need to talk with your local military recruiter from your service branch you were in. As a Vietnam Vet, you are thanked for your service and wished well.
