Question about the academies. Navy specifically. My son has ADHD -- been on meds since Kindergarten. They have helped throughout school. Its not like his a wild child off the medication, but since its worked well for years, not about to rock the boat. However, I read that this disqualifies him? Seems a shame. He has 3.63 and a 30 ACT -- so a smart kid that is a good LHP. He is looking to go do a ROTC scholarship. Might be too late as he is a rising senior -- so the question is likely moot.

Navy requires him to be off the medication for 1 year prior to joining. My son is also ADHD, but I agree with their stance. They need personnel that don't need medicine to function, even a diabetic is disqualified from joining.
