Hello everyone. I asked this question on the ROTC forum last weekend but haven’t had any responded yet. I figured the next best place to ask would be on this one. If I should remove the post, please let me know.
I am an MSIII 09R on a GRFD scholarship at a private university. Earlier this year I received an OCD diagnosis and was prescribed antidepressants by my doctor to help with it. I reported this to cadre and now I am waiting on a medical determination from CC. I have two questions:
1) At this point I know my chances are not high for remaining in ROTC, but I was wondering if the fact that the army has already “invested” a lot in me over the years via a relatively expensive scholarship to cover private school tuition, you think they might adjudicate favorably on my part? From what I heard the meds are a big issue especially. I guess the money factor is probably not how it’s supposed to work in these decisions, but I guess I’m asking how they judge that in practice from your experiences.
2) If I am found medically disqualified, will I have to pay back my scholarship or any stipends? I looked up answers to this online and the consensus seems to be no, but I figured I’d ask here.
Thank you for your help, and have a nice rest of the week/weekend.
