The United States Military will not accept anyone who has been on Ritalin once they have reached puberty.

Are you sure about that? I know of a young man who took Ritalin in High School (and that is in his public school records because I remember his mom worrying about that) and not sure if he is still taking Ritalin, but he was accepted in the army, doing well and just finishing boot camp.

I think it's a one or two year time frame of being Ritalin free and with the doctors release.

One of the questions on the forms my son had to fill out was whether Ritalin had been prescribed after puberty. He never took it at any time but was told that it was a disqualifier. That was about ten years ago and with the huge drop in enlistments during the past eight years, that may have changed. I am very sorry to learn that the requirements have changed. If I am not mistaken, either Harris or Klebold of Colombine infamy was rejected due to his being on Ritalin.
