Don't be upset or mad at people offering their advice, experience, addressing things that you bring up. That will happen your whole life. Yes OP asked a specific question...but other points were also brought up by
@From A Family of Enlisted. This is 'discussion'.
You talk about the dream of wearing the uniform, the long grey line, the famous people that have come from West Point. You will experience people that are less than what you present in your comments. Also adding youthfulness into that, make sure you are prepared for the fall from that pedestal.
A SA/ROTC's whole reason for being, is to commission officers. NOT fulfill a dream of an individual who desires beyond all things to have a certain resume. A pedigree. Or even someone who made a promise to someone else. You cannot argue that allowing someone to start over coincides with the mission of commissioning officers. I believe that is a very, very valid point. Apparently, it is allowed. No problem with you taking advantage of applying again if allowed. To be clear.
