i have had two shoulder surgeries in the last year, with the last one being in january, but i am healing up well. i am back to doing pushups and i am currently working on pull-ups. i have been in touch with a officer recruiter and he tells me my shoulder will be fine as long as i take recovery seriously, but how do they view this kind of stuff at meps? and for those who have been to ocs, how has it been in talk physically?

I am going to be a second semester junior this upcoming fall semester in college. I want to commission after college but right now I’m a civilian. The routes I am looking at would either be 1. Do the marine corps plc, and then commission as either infantry or cyber in the reserves 2. Join rotc at my school very late, and do an accelerated program, and then commission as a chaplain candidate in the army national guard, or 3.) Try my hardest to get into the air national guard as a chaplain candidate.
I just don’t know what my option would be, I don’t want to be active duty, and I’d rather not enlist as I’m almost done with my degree, and I want to try and be a chaplain but I’d know I will have to start as something else on the front end. Should I get enlisted first, should I try another route? Anyone who has any advice lmk!
