In case you frequent other forums, I copied this here because I'm trying to gather as much insight as possible.
I wanted to join the NG in 2009, but was disqualified for taking a prescription for hypogonadism. Basically, I took (and still take) one shot per month. When I told the recruiter, everything froze and did not want to pursue anything more, so I tried the ANG. Looking back, I was overweight and not very fit physically, which probably contributed to my inevitable DQ and waiver rejection.
In December, I will graduate with a Bachelor's with honors, can fulfill the physical standards, and want to join ROTC for a law program at a nearby Uni. Even though DODMERB is supposedly more stringent than MEPS, is it possible to secure a waiver? I still take the monthly injection, but can otherwise perform my duties (wouldn't even need a shot during a monthlong stay at Ft. Knox). Is it even possible to go back to MEPS and try for the NG and pray my improved condition will help?
PS- I have a 3.6 GPA and got a 94 on the ASVAB. No criminal record.
