[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 433192"] Well if he talks to a recruiter hopefully they will give him the real scoop. It is not like it used to be where anyone could get in the military, or they would offer the military as an alternative to jail. My son has wanted to join the military for a long time but has learned that he blew that when he got a felony charge on his record!!! Plus the military is pretty strict about medications, so if he has a long history of mental illness they probably won't take him. I know for me a part of me hoped the military would be the answer for my son... and a part of me was really scared that the trauma of war would really send him completely over the edge. Anyone that dream is no longer an option for my son, somewhat to my relief. [/QUOTE]
