Considering the high number of boys prescribed ritalin, that could turn into huge numbers!

Off topic, but I did a search on ADD and ADHD and military eligibilty one day. They have to be off the meds for one year prior to enlistment.

My experience with this was about five years ago; the boy was the oldest son of a friend of mine. He was attempting to enlist in the Marines. Perhaps the USMC has its own criteria on this, or has changed its policy since then.
