OPINION PER CURIAM. Janet Francis, acting pro se, appeals an order of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey denying her motion for entry of default and granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1). Francis is a former military technician who was discharged from the United States Army National Guard and fired from her related civilian employment with the Department of the Army. Her complaint in this case appears to allege that her military discharge violated various statutory and constitutional rights.

She claims that she was: denied the right to review her military records; harassed and discriminated against because of her sex; retaliated against for filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Office; denied access to materials and job opportunities necessary for promotion; and defamed. For these alleged wrongs, she seeks $2.8 million in compensatory damages, reinstatement at her previous rank, and removal of any negative materials from her personnel file. We exercise jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We review the District Court’s denial of appellant’s motion for default judgment for abuse of discretion. See Jorden v. Nat’l Guard Bureau, 877 F.2d 245, 250-51 (3d Cir.1989). Our review of the District Court’s dismissal of appellant’s complaint under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) is plenary. See Taliaferro v. Darby Township Zoning Bd., 458 F.3d 181, 188 (3d Cir.2006). In so doing we look only at “whether the allegations on the face of the complaint, taken as true, allege facts sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the district court.” See id. (quoting Turicentro, S.A. v. Am.

Airlines Inc., 303 F.3d 293, 300 (3d Cir.2002)). The District Court properly rejected plaintiffs motion for entry of default. Service was not perfected until appellant sent a copy of the summonses and complaint to the Attorney General of the United States on February 6, 2006. See Opinion of September 19, 2006, at 6-9, 2006 WL 2711459; Fed R. Civ. P. 4(i). All defendants entered a limited appearance to contest the Court’s jurisdiction by February 23, 2006, well within the allowable time period.

As discussed in some detail by the District Court, the military defendants in this case are immune from claims seeking monetary damages. See Opinion of September 19, 2006, at 12-16; Jorden v. Nat’l Guard Bureau, 799 F.2d 99 (3d Cir.1986); Chappell v. Wallace, 462 U.S. 296, 300, 103 S.Ct. 2362, 76 L.Ed.2d 586 (1983); Matreale v. N.J. Dep’t of Military & Veterans Affairs, 487 F.3d 150, 154-55 (3d Cir.2007). The District Court properly dismissed these claims under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1). We disagree, however, with the District Court’s dismissal of appellant’s claims for injunctive relief.

As the District Court observed, this ease is largely indistinguishable from Jorden. In that case, however, we rejected the proposition apparently adopted by the District Court here that Chappell closed the door to claims for injunctive relief as well as for money damages. See Jorden, 799 F.2d at 109-110. Therefore, Francis’s claims for injunctive relief were not barred by the intramilitary immunity doctrine and should not have been dismissed under Rule 12(b)(1). Accordingly, we will affirm the District Court’s dismissal of appellant’s damages claims.

We vacate the judgment of the District Court insofar as it dismissed Francis’s claims for injunctive relief and shall remand the case for further proceedings. We note that on remand, the District Court may wish to examine the complaint for compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8. . Like the District Court, we draw many of these facts from defendants' Motion to Dismiss, as the complaint filed by Francis is nearly devoid of factual allegations to support her claims. . Francis challenged the termination from her civilian position in a separate action. See D.N.J. Civ. No. 05-CV-04484; C.A.

Nos. 06-2973 and 06-2920. . The District Court's conclusion that some of defendants were never properly served also appears to be correct: however, we need not reach that issue here. See Opinion of September 19, 2006, at 9-10. . The motion for Default Judgment filed with this Court is denied.
