What are the chances of going back into the Army in a different MOS or as an officer after being chaptered out for PT test failure? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-are-the-chances-of-going-back-into-the-army-in-a-different-mos-or-as-an-officer-after-being-chaptered-out-for-pt-test-failure <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had gotten chaptered out, due to a pt test failure, with an honorable discharge and am currently attending college for a year and a half. I won&#39;t be done with college until late 2021 or early 2022. Also had to take out student loans because GI Bill covers 90% of tuition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Commissioning moral standards are significantly higher than enlisted.

There are several codes, and I believe at least 2 or 3 of them Do Not allow you to return to duty.

All the best :-).

Even if you wanted to commission as an officer via direct commission the application and review are much more strenuous than for enlisted. You would need to speak with a recruiter to see if you have any discharge codes that prevent you from signing up again and then would need to have those changed (you can read all the RE code threads on here to see how much of an uphill battle that is). Now maybe if you had some very critical AOC say something for AMEDD on the critical war time shortage list you might see a chance at a waiver....maybe.

But just talk to a recruiter and get a better understanding of the process and what hurdles you need to navigate. But I will say that with the higher standards for Officers you will have an uphill battle.

RE4, is a bar. A recruiter should be able to answer for sure.
