Disney Program and ROTC

[rocknroller81]

In a month, I will be leaving for basic training for the National Guard. At the same time, under encouragement of my NCOs at my unit, I also enrolled in Army ROTC at my college. I don't really plan on doing the college program next year but the year after. Now the question is: if I do ROTC and also wish to do the college program, can I do both or only one of them? I'd hate to give up either of them b/c they're both paths of life I wouldn't pursuing to make a career out of.

I'm not sure how ROTC would work, but for the college program you need to be a college student at the time of your interview. If you're in your last semester of school you can apply to the DCP then and go during what would have been the next semester. If it really conflicts with doing ROTC though and you still want to do it, you could always take 1 class at a community college or somewhere not too expensive to be able to apply for the program. I'd give Disney a call though, or email recruiting: wdw.college.recruiting@disney.com I sent them an email a couple of months ago because I was confused about how I could ever apply for a professional internship where I really wanted to do the college program after I graduate this year, and someone from recruiting actually called me back and helped me out. (Though I have no idea how they had my phone number, maybe they had old applications from me and found it or something).
