So I just recently got accepted into IUP which has a fantastic ROTC program. My parents are on board with the idea of joining ROTC but there's a slight problem. I'm on a small dose of Prozac which treats depression. It's very mild and I should be off it by next year. I've only been taking it to help with stress and other issues. I really hope this wont hurt my chances of getting into ROTC because this my dream. I'm in great shape from wrestling for over 12 years, I'm and avid runner, and I weightlift farily often. How hard would it be for me to get a waiver and do you think I have a realisitc chance of being accepted into ROTC?

Second question - My goal is to branch Infantry and join Air Assault after ROTC. How difficult would this be? I was born to be infantry and can't really see myself in another branch, although I know army needs come first. Also, even if you are'nt branched infantry but go Air Assault, would you still be doing the infantry like tasks? I would LOVE to join the 101st Airborne divison and be stationed at Ft. Campbell.
Lastly how time consuming is the SMP program and what are the benefits?
All comments are greatly appreciated,
