Could I do ROTC after being disqualified medically for OCS? So long story short, I’m prior enlisted and was diagnosed from the VA(during my RE1 delectation) with an adjustment disorder. I didn’t believe I actually struggled with the adjustment disorder once I was diagnosed, so I went through the very long process of being undiagnosed. After I graduated from undergrad I chose to pursue OCS and thought I would make it through no questions asked. However, I was disqualified and needed a waiver to get in. I just found out my waiver was disapproved. I have also been accepted into grad school and already was planning on attending grad school and trying to do ROTC if I could. I don’t agree with my waiver disaproval, and I know it doesn’t matter what I think, but I don’t think I should be disqualified based on the DODI anyways.

Anyways, I understand that the ROTC medical review process is different. Do I have a chance? I’m going to give it a go anyways, but would love some more advice.

This only needs high school, minimum, though I've read that Army WOCS is a pretty rough program, I've gathered, I just didn't know if you knew about it....

This and VMI are the West Points of the South, both are state run military colleges, that's why, while the vast majority of the students obviously do go for ROTCs, USMC PLC, USCG scholarships, USPHS Jr and/or Sr COSTEP, what have you, from what I've read, one is also not required to do so, you'd have to do such a program on student loans and/or other scholarships, of course, however, I have read such things might well certainly be at least possible....

My best friend in USAF went here through AFROTC, however, as I'd explained, you might well also be able to go through the regimental program, as with the state maritime colleges, without having to go into an ROTC program here, I don't know if VMI has USMC PLC, lemme send you more, OK?
