    Army SMP questions for graduating senior

    So after thinking it over, I'll probably just stick with ROTC. Is there any way I can attend basic but not enlist or join the SMP program? The reason I ask is because it'd give me some good experience and I wouldn't mind the extra money!

    Army SMP questions for graduating senior

    Thanks for all the great info. So what if I wanted to go active duty once I commisioned? Would SMP allow me to do that? And since I'm technically not an MS1 cadet yet could I still attend basic this summer? I have a feeling that the on campus ROTC scholarships will be highly competitive...

    Army dodmerb question

    I have been living perfectly fine off my meds. All I said was that I feel a little better when I'm on them, but by no means am I reliant on them. I have trouble understanding why TONS of active duty soldiers on prescribed anti depressants are able to do so without repercussion, yet as a...

    Army dodmerb question

    So here's the situation.. I was on Prozac for mild depression perscribed for about 3 months and I've since been off the medication for over 7 months. What I want to know is if it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll get a waiver considering I have no other issues. Also what would happen if I...

    armor officer questions

    Thank you all for the great advice. I talked to my doctor and got off the Prozac about 7 months ago. I just really hope I don't have to get a waiver since I'd be off the meds for 2 years by the time I contract.. And in regards to preparing for the PT, im feeling pretty confident. Although...

    armor officer questions

    I recently got accepted into a college that has a good ROTC program and I'm already enrolled in the course. I just have a few questions about branching armor I've always thought about branching infantry but it seems like armor is much less requested. I'm also on the shorter side (5'6) so...

    Questions about ROTC

    So if I talk to my doctor about getting off the meds by this year, I shouldn't have trouble signing up for ROTC? I'm also pretty confident I'll be able to balance my work with ROTC because I've learned to do the same with my academics during wrestling season. Hopefully ROTC will be a little less...

    Questions about ROTC

    Thanks for all the responses. The main reason why I believe I would be a great candidate for infantry is because of my athleticism. Not trying to boast or anything, but wrestling has made me physically and mentally strong and I believe it would give me an edge. Also being a team captain this...

    Questions about ROTC

    So I just recently got accepted into IUP which has a fantastic ROTC program. My parents are on board with the idea of joining ROTC but there's a slight problem. I'm on a small dose of Prozac which treats depression. It's very mild and I should be off it by next year. I've only been taking it to...
