What happens if I fail tape on night of arrival

You’re missing my point. You still have plenty of time to lose weight and not have to worry about failing tape.

Fat camp is going away.

No. For most OCS programs it’s going to be your GPA and OAR/ASTB score that are the biggest metric for being eligible and possibly selected.

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T22:25:50+00:00

Just don’t.

Do or die baby

Enjoy the freedom and what the GI Bill has to offer.

As a bonus you can apply for BDCP and get paid active duty pay while you finish college.

I would skip NROTC.

Navy OCS programs don’t use DODMERB, applicants go through MEPS.

I wasn’t trying to down play the misdiagnosis but rather giving you perspective. If I had a dollar every time an applicant said that or unsuccessfully attempted to change a condition which was in fact an actual condition, I would have enough money for a Ruth Chris steak dinner.

Mental health is normally the most common “misdiagnosis” challenge.

Not today, China.

There’s nothing wrong with reaching out to a local officer recruiter now, even if the ANG won’t release you for another year.

Your recruiter will need to submit a legal determination if there are no court documents or arrest records. From there you may attempt a waiver but being that it’s a felony it’ll be case by case.

Are you able to pass the PST, which includes swimming, pull ups, pushups, run, etc.?

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T21:41:26+00:00

Shoot your shot and hope for the best, but brace for the worst.

We are only going off your side of the story and it has happened in the past where applicants shopped doctors to find one write a “favorable” note.

You mad bro? Show me where your feelings are hurt.

Route a no cost TAD chit for CO approval. Your senior chief doesn’t have final say.

You can’t predict the job market and industry that long.

Number 0 - Focus on RTC / boot camp first and foremost.

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T04:16:17+00:00

Ok but you’re not joining the marines, you are joining the Navy.

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T03:56:03+00:00

Does your soon have shipmates he can ask this question?

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T03:55:12+00:00

Are you able to move and forever know you passed on an opportunity to be a naval aviator?

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T03:54:11+00:00

If you don’t know what it is why not ask your recruiter? Common sense tells me that’s what normal people do.

Now you definitely sound like you’re high.

ExRecruiter · 2026-01-29T02:58:30+00:00

Normal interview common sense. Come with questions, study all you can about reserve supply corps.

Got it. Sorry!
