[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I would really like to avoid a fight over the morality of the military. Start a different thread for that. I just want to rationally and fairly respond to my child's stated desire to join the military despite my own fears. If anyone could address the medical issues I brought up in the first post, I'd appreciate that, too. [/quote] Take a look at service academy forums. They have a lot of information about medical issues. Being on ADHD medication can be an issue, it just depends on the specifics of each person's situation. The services have different rules about color deficiency, for instance red-green can be an issue with the Navy because you need to be able to see the lights on the buoys if you're a surface warfare officer. [/quote] No it doesn't just depend on the specifics - Taking ADHD meds within the past year is an automatic disqualifier for the military.[/quote]
