Hi I was involuntarily disenrolled from ROTC and accumulated a debt of $120,000 due to going to an out of state school. I am now going to OCS soon and I was wondering if it’s possible to pay off this amount within my service time? Thank you for your support.
Paying off debt in the military

If you budget hard, but unlikely.
Yes absolutely. What you’re technically doing is ‘active duty service in lieu of repayment, which is outlined on your disenrollment letter and DFAS letter.
I’ve recently gone through a similar process getting disenrolled with recoupment. Go to the [DFAS education debts](https://www.dfas.mil/debtandclaims/militarydebts/educationdebt/) and find the branch of service you were in ROTC. Those will have your instructions. I’ve talked to 4 different agents on the phone and they all have some weird extra instructions you have to do through DFAS. My experience was sending my shit to NETC and a few months later my debt was off my credit report. DM if you have any more questions.
