[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 428337"] One of the things that is truly frustrataing now about the military is that if you are truly a difficult child you probably can't get in. My son has wanted to join the military for a long time, like since he was 13!! Although I was not crazy about him going to war I did think it might be just what he needed. My brother who was in the army in Vietnam thought it might be the best thing for him..... Alas his gfgness totally got in his way. He now has a felony on his record, and even though it would be good for him, and he probably would do well in that environment they won't take him.... and by the time he can get his record sealed it will be too late, so he has cut himself off from that option. A part of me is relieved because I worried about how the trauma experiences of war might affect him, but another part of me is sad for him because I think it was a good option for him. So yes the military is a good option but they have gotten much much stricter about taking people and so m any of our difficult children are out of luck in that regard. [/QUOTE]
