PLC Law after NROTC

[throwaway3923]

Hi all
made a throwaway account for this post because I don't want it tied to me. I was a 4 year Marine contract attending an SMC as part of the class of 2023. I was having a rough week, and after speaking to my chaplain I was sent to the university counseling service for what I thought was a simple check-in. They ended up deciding that I was a suicide risk (which was completely untrue), and decided that the Corps of Cadets program was harming my mental health and that I had to leave. I was given no say in this, and the paperwork was filled out before I even fully understood what was happening. This meant that I had to give up my contract, since being in the Corps is mandatory for staying in the program. My MOI has my back, and is offering to help me get a PLC contract. I am pre-law, so I was hoping to go to in as a PLC Law contract. Does anyone know if I will have to explain the details of why I left the NROTC program? I don't want an incorrect determination by a student psychologist to affect my ability to commission. Also, does anyone know if it is possible to do PLC Juniors and Seniors instead of PLC combined for the law program? I have heard that it is generally a better option to do two 6 week sessions instead of one 10 week session but I am unaware if Law contracts have that option. Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about the programs that you reference, but I would fully expect that any Officer accession program will ask if you have been had prior military service (it may be worded differently), and you will have have to disclose your ROTC enrollment and the obvious follow up question is why did you leave. When that question is asked, you will be expected to tell the truth. If you feel that you have a bad diagnosis, I would suggest that you address the issue, NOW, rather than trying to explain it in the future. Best of Luck to you.
