I want an honest opinion about how I can better my chances for being an officer. I joined the navy in 1994, (20 years old) but I was discharged with a panic disorder. I did not agree with the finding but I was young and dumb and did not fight it. I joined the National Guard in 1999 and injured my knee before I shipped to basic. Since you have to ship within a year I was discharged. The National Guard psychiatrist did not believe I ever had a panic disorder, and viewed the diagnosis as incorrect So, on my DD-214 it shows a personality disorder as the reason for discharge and a code of RE4. On my dd-22(?) it just shows a failure to ship, with a reenlistment code of a 2 I believe. When I talked to a NG recruiter he said the NG code meant I would have to have a specialist look at my knee before I could rejoin. I went and had another military physical done recently and I scored 1 in everything except vision where I received a 2.
So the only other things in my past are I have been fired from two jobs. The first time was when I was 22, and I had already given notice. It was the HR directors way of
