If I go to Basic Camp, will I go to MEPS or DoDMERB?

I've never been to a military boarding school, but I know that most that I've seen are not reform schools but schools for kids who are interested in the military or the structured environment.

Are there any summer ROTC classes?

I'm heading to Valley Forge this August for self prep. Or maybe NMMI, I haven't decided yet. However, I'm leaning more towards Valley Forge.

I had a very similar problem and asked about it on this forum. I was very thankful to see some incouraging answers. Go see my post about it. https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/can-you-get-into-the-military-with-hoshimotos-disease.62335/

There are people who had to try three times to get a waiver and eventually succeeded. Don't give up unless there's absolutely no way you can get in and if there's nothing wrong with you anymore then I'm very confident that you could potentially get a waiver. Also I think DoDMERB is easier then...

Yes, I would recommend that. Someone actually posted a packing list here for West Point which I think would for the most part also work for USMAPS. Good luck! https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/2015-rday-aday-packing-list.17117/

Yes, I am thinking of enlisting but if I have to wait a year I might as well go to Valley Forge next semester and hopefully get into a service academy. Either way, my long term goal is to go to a service academy or some other military college. I've been on Synthroid for almost a year but my TSH...

Wow! This is great news! Thank you so much!

Thanks. I read the information but it didn't answer my question. Does anyone else know?

I went to a recruiter today and he said I can't get into the military since I have Hoshimotos disease and therefore require medication. I've heard different things from different people and don't know what to believe. Does anyone here know anything about getting in when you need medication?

Thanks for the insight!

Wow! I'm incredibly impressed by your GPA and transcripts! I would say JROTC would be another great thing to do for preparation as well as getting a part time job (full time during summer and other school vacations) and working as many hours as you can fit into the school week without...

I'm planning to go to VFMC next semester and I think it's the best possible school for me. Unfortunately I've read some terrible reviews about it as well as some amazing reviews. I can't decide which ones to believe. Are there any VFMAC cadets or alumni here who can give me some insight?
