Grad student and prior Active duty Navy, now in reserves. My first semester of grad school I participated in ROTC, but it was almost impossible to do both. I was taking 18 grad credits and 6 rotc so I decided to focus on school for now and pursue officer life after. Now I am applying to Army OCS while being a drilling Navy reservist.

I had an approved G1 level waiver in ROTC. It was approved after I left ROTC, but I still have a copy of it. Can I use this as leverage to get the same waiver approved on the active side? It is a G1 waiver so the same person would have to sign it again in theory. Let me know what you think, and thanks as always to the RallyPoint community for being great.

I think your chances of getting it approved again are good, but ROTC and Federal OCS exist in separate universes since you have to enlist to attend OCS. My experience is that you will have to submit again during recruiting. I would submit with a copy of the original waiver, the documentation can't hurt you.

Awesome thank you. My waiver would in theory go to the exact same person because it was a G1 waiver. Either way I have all the documentation I need and am willing to answer any and all questions.

Thanks for the reply.

If your recruiter knows what he's doing yes.

That’s the first thing he said when I mentioned it to him. Thanks!
