Several months ago I posted on this forum inquiring for advice about what to do after sustaining a concussion on an FTX that eventually lead to me leaving my ROTC battalion in order to recover properly. Since that time I've now been medically cleared to start doing physical activity again and have been attending classes, etc. and am back to where I was before my head injury.
I suppose what I am wondering, and wondering if anyone could shed any insight on - is if cadets ever return to, or can return to the AROTC program after leaving it. I was uncontracted, non-scholarship. My desire has always been to commission, and since I had to leave the battalion I've made sure that if the opportunity ever presented itself to return that I'd be able to - in terms of physical requirements. I can pass my APFT, I dropped ten pounds, etc. However, I don't know that I should continue to chase this dream - of earning a commission through ROTC, or just try to pursue this career through other avenues.
Any insight that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
