[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711643, member: 1550"] Frankly, it sounds like, with her challenges, she may struggle in the Marines. They are going to expect her to be able to keep her act together. But she needs help to remember basic stuff at home...some people have challenges that make the military hard. The Marines are also front line fighters in the military. It is far more than even basic training. Do you feel it is safe for her to go? Does the recruiter know her challenges? I do not feel that it is wrong in any way for you to help her due to her in utero substance exposure. She cant help this...it is perhaps not something she can change. But...how will she manage in the Marines? Getting in is not the same as being able to do what must be done. I can not imagine my son who was drug exposed in utero to have ever been able to handle the military. Even many people with no challenges are not fit for the military. It is not for everyone. Not even for most. [/QUOTE]
