All you can do (and the best advice) is go see a recruiter and take your discharge paperwork with you. The enlistment rules/messages change constantly. You cannot get shot for asking, so go and peruse your options. The nature of your misconduct discharge will likley determine whether a waiver is possible. Your DD214 should have a reenlistment (RE) code entered on it, and this will denote for the recruiter what options you have, if any.
