OCS candidate, was not given etp to travel. Physical Therapy expired, LHi misdiagnosed, now waiting over 2 months for signature of CG. Why? What are my options?J have to wait one year to go to school, while Active Duty kids get school way earlier than us? If that's the case, why the graduation requirements not different? I am Medically misdiagnosed, I can't even sue the medical center. Why? LHi is not even giving me an apology letter. Wtf

I am only guessing here, as their are a lot of questions. Is the ETP to travel to Physical Therapy, OCS, could you clarify that. Ok, waiting 2 months for a waiver or ETP from the CG? Yes, sometimes in the Reserves depending on classes you may have to await a year for school. Have you talked to your Schools NCO? You can lookup class dates in ATRRS and submit those dates to your schools NCO. They may be full or not available. Others may have more input, but I feel we need a little more info to help you out SGT (Join to see)

Also, what I am reading is that a doctor can misdiagnose you, that can mess ur career, but you have to act dumb, and not do anything. That's not my thing. I have seen enough bs of this army. Also, I am not waiting for another etp, I am waiting for a signature, and not sure when I will get a class date. My career got destroyed by buruecracy

SGT (Join to see) - Your career is not destroyed, a request to attend a school has delayed any further progression. Acting the way you are may end up doing so however.

Trying to understand this.
You initiated movement without an ETP, which is against policy. You requested another ETP, and it was denied several times. While that may suck, that is how it works. The Commander must assume that risk, which is exactly what an ETP is. If he did not agree with it, he will refuse to sign the ETP, as it is his risk to assume.
I understand you may not like that, but that's regulation.
You want to get a class date, but can't because of a misdiagnosis. You must wait for another ETP to correct this issue, but want to sue? You need to wait for the ETP to come back and either move forward with a class at a later date, or not.
P.S. your actions and lack of bearing are VERY unbecoming of the NCO Corps. It gives much insight into your potential future as an Officer.....

SGT (Join to see) - Because the decision lies with YOUR Commander. Others Soliders Commanders are free to do as they wish with their Soliders.
Unless your Commander violated policy, regulation, or law....he can make the decision as he sees fit.

SSG (Join to see) yes, so going back , my brigade did screw my career. I hear reserves are dry for officers, well there's a reason why. I have to wait one year to go to school, now this mess. Screw army. Reserves will never ever have officers
To add , there were 6 reservist who just said they don't wanna comission, left schoolhouse. Too much bs to handle. If reserves want officers, they have to smoothen the process.

SGT (Join to see) also, I have to take pay cut to take up a job so that I could go to OCS. I made lot of self sacrifice to be there, just to comission. Not sure if I could do this next year.

SGT Sung,
We have gone over this multiple times now. You are responsible to ensure your physical is valid through your class completion date. You have no options other then to redo your physical and try and be slotted for another OCS course. Active gets priority because the money is centrally funded.

SGT (Join to see) - do what you got to do, but coming to RP every other week complaining about the same thing is not going to change what happened.

SSG (Join to see) I am not complain here. I am asking what options I have? Why this sort of things happen that destroy soldiers careers. I made a promise to my family that I will be doing this, I came back as a failure. I can't even stand in front of my family, not my fault. I failed myself. I cannot stand it.
