I posted this in the wrong sub-forum so I will be brief. I am a freshman Software engineer in AFROTC. Back in high school I was diagnosed with depression and during a stressful part of my senior year I attempted suicide twice (was hospitalized for both). First semester of college my psychiatrist said she thinks i have Borderline Personality Disorder (don't think it was official diagnosed, but not sure).
I have a lot on my plate right (I joined second semester and have been playing catch-up with the rest of my flight) and have given some consideration to dropping. I know the military doesn't care for people with mental illnesses, so I'm thinking it would be best to drop if I am going to be kicked out anyway and focus on bettering my self in other areas.
So my question is, am I more or less guaranteed to be kicked out? How does dropping out of ROTC work? Any advice would be appreciated, this is really bothering me (I feel like dropping would mean I'm a failure).
