SF stance on ADHD

I am curious if it is possible to enlist 18X if one has been previously diagnosed with ADHD and has been talking medications such as Strattera?

Thanks for all replies in advance.

This one has varied from time-to-time over the years and is a DA level question vs a strictly SF one. Go ask a recruiter to find out what the current position is on this topic.

Might be a good idea to go back and read the welcome email you received when you registered as well as all the stickies.

Clearly not, if your condition prevents you from taking the time to read the instructions you were sent, or to bothering to read the rules before posting.

You all keep mentioning instructions in an email but I can't find them. The only thing I read is to activate my account. If you can see anything else in either of these that constitutes an instruction, by all means let me know.

My bad for not reading the stickies, but I don't see what the emails have to do with anything.

Oh no you didnt...

jwh335:

It is considered very rude to walk up into a strangers house and start asking questions as soon as the door closes behind you. This is our house (SF qualified soldiers) you are a guest here.

Kyo was nice enough to hint you towards reading the stickies. However it would seem you decided not to follow his advice. Then The Reaper followed with suggesting (telling) you read the rules before posting to which you also ignored. Given your lack of ability to pick up on hints, let me be straight forward with you. Go read the rules for the board (search and you will find them) and comply with whats asked.

SF is a very detail oriented calling, one that requires you to be a step ahead of the game instead of a step behind. Guess where you are.

In closing, you can save the snide remarks. We find them neither acceptable or amuzing; they will not be tolerated.

What questions do you have on this block of instruction? NONE, good.

Crip
