Hey everyone! Recently, I was awarded the AROTC 3 year scholarship and just found out (today) that I have 6 disqualifications. Some of which are mental health related as I had a an episode of circumstantial anxiety, self mutilation, and depression last year. Along with my mental health DQs, I was also DQd for a history of psoriasis (currently resolved), a shellfish allergy, and high astigmatism (despite my vision being correctable to 20/20). I've wanted to serve as an Officer my entire life, and it's extremely disheartening to have this many disqualifications. Is there ANY possible way that I could receive a waiver for all of these? Is there anything that I can do to increase my chances? Everything (besides my shellfish allergy) is non-progressive and is RESOLVED (if that helps) as of today. I'll take any help that I can get!
 
@MullenLE Is there anything that you can do to help my case? Can I submit my own remedials to prove that my conditions are not progressive?? I’m super new to all of this and would really appreciate your help!

WIthout details, what actually disqualified you for the mental health situation? I had a rough patch last year after being kicked out and did a behavioral program to get some adult guidance on the situation and worried about DQ also.
 
If you’d like, you may send me an email: lawrence.e.mullen.civ@mail.mil; provide complete name and last 4 SSN; provide the text of your Parent's posting above to YOUR email. The subject line of the email should be “TylerVsAROTC- SAF =.“ Do NOT embed links in your email as I will not be able to view those. Forgot to hit post reply yesterday:wiggle:

History of self mutilation, mood disorder, and anxiety disorder. All resolved and non-existent presently.
