I guess we'll try to pester the commanders, and if we can't get anything out of it, then we'll take the long route.

A word of advice - take the long route - this passage from the regs doesn't mean you should go about '
pestering' the proponent schools commanders - this means you get board certified medical personnel to examine your friend and make a recommendation which is then forwarded through channels to the appropriate school's commander for review and approval/denial - the school will have competent medical advisory personnel or a board to review the case and give the commander a recommendation to accept, deny, or request further documentation before making a final decision.
If denied - your friend proves himself
capable as a soldier w/o further incident and then reapplies - nothing like a
history of relevantly demonstrated performance to help weigh such a decision in your favor.
