[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 627373, member: 1514"] Personally I wouldnt worry myself about the military because if they are stupid enough to not vet him then it is their problem. I will be willing to bet that they will figure it out at some point in time. I will tell you why I feel that way. My middle son went into the Marines when he was 18 years old. It was a lifelong dream of his so we had contacted recruiters when he was in middle school. We knew that his ADHD diagnosis could be an issue so he went off medications for his entire 4 year HS career. When we signed his early enlistment paperwork at 17 I made sure his diagnosis was listed even though his recruiter tried to tell him he didnt need to list it because he hadnt been on medications for 4 years. I listed it anyway. Im so glad I did. After my son had been at boot camp for a week and a half the medical folks pulled him out of his platoon and claimed he had lied on his paperwork and hadnt disclosed the fact that he had been dxd with ADHD as a child. NOT TRUE! It all worked out in the end but my son was in limbo in the medical unit for almost 2 weeks not knowing if he would be put back into training or sent home. He was so upset. I was so upset. I went down to the recruiters station and cussed them out...lol [/QUOTE]
