SP5 Alex Smith 7284685 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My name is Alex, and my buddy and I got kicked out of West Point a few years ago due to alcohol related incident. However, we want to go back to Reserve OCS, and I need some guidance. Some recruiters said waivers are possible while others said no. I know another Officer in my similar situation (a BC even check #5 on DD785 form) and recently just went to CCC. I want to join Army Reserve OCS because I have six figure job but still want to redeem my past mistakes and serve the nation. Any guidance and tips on this issue? Thanks. Is it possible for someone to go to Army OCS after getting dismissed from West Point? 2021-09-20T18:34:31-04:00 SP5 Alex Smith 7284685 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My name is Alex, and my buddy and I got kicked out of West Point a few years ago due to alcohol related incident.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is go for it to get your answer. I wish you the best of luck with this.

You claim 11H. 11H was phased out back somewhere between 2001-2003. You also picked SP5. SPC5 was taken away in 1985. This entire post makes me suspect.

Let&#39;s start with Your supposed admission to West Point. West Point Admission Standards are fairly straight forward and strict. <br />In your profile you state that you are an E-5 and ok, that is doable in 4 years. But math wise you are kinda messed up. You graduate high school and attend OSUT, then get shipped off to FT Hood for 4 years. West Point Admissions tops out its age at 23.

However, the chances of you getting a commissioning waiver for an alcohol related offense without a Letter of Recommendation from the Secretary of the Army are around 0% Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 21 at 2021 12:14 AM 2021-09-21T00:14:12-04:00 2021-09-21T00:14:12-04:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 7285213 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Specialist 2nd Class, also known as Specialist 5 or Spec 5. That&#39;s cool, you might be a bit too old to commission these days.

Is this a mistake in your title. I only ask because there have been no SP5 or above since the early 80’s.
