Taking an SSRI while on a 3-year army scholarship?

I'm looking for people who've have accepted a commission through Army ROTC, and/or those on scholarship while taking an SSRI. Is it possible to be prescribed, and taking, an SSRI while as an ROTC cadet? If someone doesn't report that they're taking/prescribed an SSRI, how will the Army find out and disqualify the person? Is there a screening at Advanced Camp that will catch the prescription? Is this a situation someone would have to self-report?

If a cadet was awarded a 3-year army scholarship, and has used 1/3 of their years, coming up on 2/3 of the years on the scholarship, and already contracted, but is still in college, and then was prescribed an SSRI, how does that change things?

Asking for a friend.

DODMERB delay

What happens if the DODMERB was started late and doesn't get approved until after the school year starts? Does the scholarship still get paid out on time?
