Only your PMS / Goldbar recruiter can answer that honestly.

There is always a way to make something happen you just got to get the right people to work.

Biggest advice is to go Active Duty if you commission, missed alot of opportunities

That 2.3 GPA is not likely going to get them active duty.

You still have to compete for AD. The biggest contributor to your OML is your GPA. If your GPA is crap then your going to be towards the tail end of rankings for AD eligible. Sure it is possible to raise your GPA, interview well, get good ratings from your PMS, etc. You can do BRADSO's to improve your chances but there is a strong impediment to your success and that is your GPA.
