Okay, so I was planning on enlisting in the Navy but when I went to MEPS they DQ’d me for high blood pressure but I was just excited. My question: I am qualified academically for the NROTC(I was leaning more toward the Marine program) program and AM accepted to one of their affiliated colleges. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time to redo MEPS for the NROTC program or can I just start my application immediately? I’m almost positive that my blood pressure won’t be an issue since I know what’s going to go on at MEPS. It sucks because I was kinda screwed over at MEPS; I had a person on their first day on the job and he put the cuff REALLY tight… :/
Your MEPS DQ is still valid (for another two years, althoguh it may be waiverable or changeable). If your unit finds out, they can remove you even as a College Program student.
With that said…
You don’t have to do another MEPS visit, though, until you ether get a scholarship or get advanced standing as a Navy Option. That could be up to 2 years (max).
