Does disqualification or separation from another service mean that one is disqualified from Army ROTC?
Not always. The Army has different qualification requirements than the other armed services, so someone who is disqualified from the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard, for whatever reason, may find that he or she meets the Army’s qualifications. Former service members discharged under honorable conditions may join Army ROTC provided they meet all the other requirements. Service members discharged under less than honorable conditions, other than honorable conditions, or given a general discharge (such as for a medical problem) will generally have their cases reviewed on an individual basis. In general, a past discharge or rejection should not in all cases be considered as an impediment to joining ROTC.
