[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 10299, member: 1697"] side note, my bipolar nephew who lived with me from age 11 to 16 did join the Marines in the last few years. He did not graduate HS, but his HS made some "arrangement" with him, UG! that if he joined, they would give him a diploma saying he finished HS? and even being diagnosis'ed bipolar and having spent a couple years at an alternatice school, he was allowed to join. He did 3 tours in Iraq.and then left Marines and went back to Iraq as a civilian to do more. He followed my husband footsteps into military..... I wish I could tell you my husband military experience was good- but------several years in Nam......and then 100% totalpermanant mental and physical disability and 10 years fighting for his benefits....... UG.I would not trust recruiters, I would not trust anyone associated with any part of the military- not after what I heard over at the VA every single day or at the Marine Corps League...... nope, I have no trust. A friend of mine joined Navy several years ago- it was join Navy or do time in jail.....He chose Navy and within months- was out on medical. SOmething to consider is------how will how your difficult child behaves impact those working beside him, living in close quarters with them? If he is impossible to be around, those others around him will be just as stuck with the situation as your difficult child is. [/QUOTE]
