What does an enlisted member have to do to be sent to physical therapy school (DPT, not tech school)?

I know that the Army has a DPT program that Navy enlisted can attend (and become a Navy officer), but I'm not familiar with the process of getting Navy approval. Sorry that I can't assist you there.You can see if they'll connect you with a Navy student to ask how they navigated that process. I've provided the link below. If you choose to get out of the Navy, you could always apply as a civilian (to come back into the military).

I would suggest you talk to a doctor of CPO who works in the physical therapy department of a Navy hospital.

Talk to your chain, to include your CCC, it's a matter of getting all your requirements for your package together.

If the therapists were really hot I know my guys would have snapped some limbs just to volunteer for student practice. Not quite what you meant? Sorry....my bad. Could not resist.

I found info on this page but basically you need a Bachelor and science pre-req's, GRE, letters of recommendation and a few other things. There is more info on this page.
