I went to Parris Island in the summer of 2008. I was separated for fraudulent enlistment because I had a history treatment for depression. I told my recruiter about it but not MEPS. I was having a hard time adjusting to boot camp, like now getting soap when we showered and going 4 weeks with out washing my hair. I made scratches on my arm while I was there. I was never suicidal I just wanted to leave and I didn't know what to do. I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life. I'm having a hard time reenlisting. I really want to go back..I want nothing more than to be a Marine. Can I reenlist? How hard is it going to be? I would like to know what my chances are before I go into another recruiting station.

RE-3P
 
An RE-3P code is for disability:

RE-3P- Physical disability (includes discharge and transfer to TDRL). Obesity. Motion sickness. Disqualified for officer candidate training.

Anything other than an RE-4 is waiver-able, however they just are not doing a lot of waivers as they are not having issues getting enough recruits that don't need them.
 
You can attempt to get it waived, but I couldn't imagine anyone granting that waiver.

You had your chance. You screwed up. Learn to live with it.

Your chances are slim to none. Especially for a psych condition such as this.
