I really hope he doesn't lie. If he gets caught he could owe all his pay back to the military.
On the other hand I know our difficult child's will do it anyway.
As a military wife living through a major downsizing and having a husband facing losing his career because the army is overstrength I find it somewhat amusing how people think the army will take anyone and straighten them out. BUT I do realize the Army has been doing that since 911 and now they are having to clean up the mess they made. The Army is paying the price for taking in people who required multiple waivers. They have had a large increase in investigations and most of those cases have been Soldiers with multiple waivers.
I have a friend whose husband is likely to get put out of the military simply because he is only a good Major not an exceptional Major. He has three kids and a wife with severe RA. But none of his supervisors found him amazing so he is out.
The point here is that the military should not be counted on to take in difficult child's anymore. It is now much harder to get in. We might want to warn our difficult child's who say "I'll just join the military," that they won't take people with certain records (medical and illegal.) eg the friend mentioned above is devastated her middle child was officially diagnosed with Aspergers because the military is no longer doing waivers for that.
