The marines did not know about your son being on ritalin then.
Does it bother any of you that we had a couple of parents in here saying that ritalin does not work on their child but concerta does. It is the same thing! Concerta is time release ritalin. How can you be giving concerta to your kid and not know that? These are the same people who are the type to give their kids drugs and buy the whole ADHD hook line and sinker from the so called professionals. Koolaid drinkers.
I was not talking about my son, but the son of a friend. I have no knowlege of whether the ritalin use was disclosed or not. I can ask however. I do have sons but they have no need of such medications, thank God. My oldest was a very active and trying child but since he could sit and play a video game or watch a full length movie, I knew he was just a normal active boy.
From US Navy:
History of persistent ADHD is NPQ [not physically qualified]. Use of ADHD medication (Ritalin, Cylert, etc) after age 15 or current use of medication to maintain skills is NPQ, no waiver.
