I was in the military for about five months. I got an uncharacterized discharge for deciding to go home after obtaining a hip fracture. There hasn't been a single day I've been out that I didn't wanna go back. I only got out because I had completely stopped healing. When I got out they told me I could come back in six months with a waiver or wait two years to go back without one. I decided to wait the two years so I could get back in shape. What I'm wondering is will they actually let me back in? And if they do under what conditions will they do it? Any information would be really helpful. This is all I've ever wanted to do.

You should call the appropriate recruiting office and talk to the guys who know. They love walk-ins.

That hip must have affected your brain.
As for "stopped healing" I ripped my knee out parachuting about 3 years in, and it didn't fully heal until about ten years after I got out. I was never given sufficient time off for it to fully recover and strengthen, so for about a year I had constant pain, and for about three years after. But I just sucked it up. It wasn't like debilitating or anything, just hurt.
Like the others say, if you must return go ask the recruiter.
Better yet get a degree, go ROTC and return as an officer and gentleman.
For the Air Force:
1. If you are COMPLETELY HEALED, and we can get you medically cleared through MEPS, you may be able to come back in.
2. We'd need all your discharge paperwork for a RE Code waiver. Your story about why you were discharged would need to be supported with the paperwork.
3. You would have to be otherwise fully qualified for the Air Force.

That's like saying military efficiency. It's simply not true. LOL.
