[QUOTE="ksm, post: 711069, member: 12511"] GN...I have been seeing seeing red flags. I am not sure if the drink is to pass a drug test or not. I looked up the height weight chart, and she is slightly over the standards. She does not use drugs, to my knowledge. But why not wait a couple weeks if she needs to drop three pounds? The other thing I found out, she isn't going to disclose past medical history! I believe she could get a waiver...she did take Rx for ADHD in 6th and 8th grade. And medications for mood swings... She has not been on any Rx for three years. I am afraid if she isn't upfront with her medical history, she will get booted out at some point and would not be allowed to enlist again. Last night she called and wanted to borrow our car to drive 60 miles to take papers to the recruiter. He only comes to our town a couple days a week. My husband said he would drive her...and she made it clear that he wasn't allowed to talk to the recruiter. She has a friend who is also in this process, but it is taking longer, as she is getting waivers for some previous condition...and it is taking longer. I don't know if daughter decided not to say anything because of that...or because the recruiter told her not to. Her plan right now is to leave on Tuesday with the recruiter, take a test and physical on Wednesday, and if she passes, to be sworn in. I asked her why can't she wait to be sworn in? She made it sound like she could change her mind up until boot camp! I tried to explain that is not what swearing in meant! As usual, red flags are popping up. Ksm [/QUOTE]
