Army ROTC Medical Questions

[trashoverdxse]

I’m a sophomore in college right now and I was planning on joining the ROTC. My plan was to take a year off college, enlist in the regular army first, and then join the ROTC as an SMP. (I know that you don’t have to enlist beforehand but I want to do it.)

So the problem is that recently I was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis, and I read that it was a disqualying condition. Is there something that I can do about that?

First off, you don’t enlist for active duty if you want to SMP. SMP is for Guard/Reserve soldiers.
EE is indeed a disqualifier. In about 4 months I expect to know whether that condition is waiverable.
