Update-
He came home last night with a Marine key lanyard and a folder with three shiny papers with pictures of Marines with small snippets of info. Nothing more-just shiny pretty things.
Told me he had double disqualified himself-
*lack of a diploma
*suicide attempt (he was 13)
But that the recruiter told him she wanted to work with him.
Suggested getting a diploma- not by going back to school but you pay a fee- take some tests and get a diploma- not a GED.
...and told him to keep the suicide attempt on the downlow- which I find absurd. You can't hide the scars and you can't lie about it at a physical- so someone is going to know.
She left him a message asking him to call her this morning- so will know soon if she still wants to work with him or not.
He may need to more seriously consider the other branches.
