[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 711709, member: 1963"] The other issue I see is that the Marines, unlike the other three branches, consider every member to be a front-line fighter in times of need, and they are trained accordingly. The Marines have lightened up on medications as when my husband went to enlist, he initially attempted to enlist in the Marines and was turned down due to having taking desipramine, an antidepressant, as a child, even though he had taken it for sleep-walking, not depression. The executive function is going to be a serious issue as once taught something, a military member is expected to remember it. Her tendency to "blow things off" is not going to fly at all. She won't be repeatedly reminded to do things expected of her. She will be told once and expected to comply; be it on the spot, or later on. I wish her luck, but I have my doubts. [/QUOTE]
