There's no legal or regulatory prohibition -- HOWEVER -- as with any SMP issue, one must consider both the Guard and ROTC's perspectives. The Guard will IST you. Whether ROTC will transfer your cadetship from one school to another is an entirely different matter. Some cadets get themselves into a twist because they only deal with one half of the equation, and do not consider the other half.
