[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 717480, member: 1233"] The military can only find so much. They don't really have time to search every hospital for every person who tries to enlist. The psychological testing may rule him out. Or it may not. It is fairly easy to get a recruiter to work with you. You just walk into an office or talk to a recruiter at a job fair or an event somewhere and if you show any interest, they are all over you. Another member here has a grandaughter who is waiting to go to basic training. The granddaughter did not reveal all of her mental/medical issues and is starting to worry that maybe she should have. The papers are signed and everything is set, so it is a little bit late for second thoughts. I don't know what will happen. With your son, the military might be a way to have him go off somewhere and be out of your hair. Could it be the discipline that he would need? I don't know, your instincts would be best on this. I always trust a mother's instincts. The times we make big mistakes are usually times we go against our instincts. Would your son let you meet his recruiter? Then maybe you could send a letter with your son's info to the recruiter if you felt it was important for him to know? Or you could tell him as the 3 of you chatted. Just a thought. Welcome to our forum. Please know that you will get a lot of information and ideas. We know that you cannot take everyone's suggestions. No one will get angry if you don't follow their idea or suggestion. I am sorry that you had to seek us out, but very glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
