My son is 17, he has a friend who is 18. I’ve been around the kid a little and he struck me as a little socially awkward but no big deal. So the kid joined the military and reported in May, and 6 weeks later he’s back. He said they found some kind of court issue from when he was 14 and discharged him. I might just be being paranoid but the only thing I knew of that could get you kicked out that fast was a section 8 or a medical, and if he’s too crazy for the military I question if I want him around my kid, not to mention I take him with us to the range occasionally. Is his story remotely plausible? I’ve known guys that signed up to get out of a charge, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the military kicking a recruit for something as a minor, and it couldn’t have been that bad or I would have heard about it 4 years ago.
