Hello Marines. My name is Steven, I am 16, and currently in the 11th grade.
I'v wanted to be a soldier for about 3 years now... and now that im getting very close(only one year away).. im getting worried about my 'problem'.
(ugh... this will be embarrasing)
My problem is Paruresis.. I have no problem taking a drug test, I can honestly say i'v never done drugs in my life, but I just have a problem with using the restroom while other people are watching.
Yes I know... bootcamp, and other stuff will be hard with this condition but it is cureable. The only problem is that my parents dont believe me and dont want to waste money on counseling. I KNOW that I can overcome this, but I dont want to have to wait untill after I graduate to Enlist.
So, I was wondering, is there anyway you can waiver the drugtest at M.E.P.S? Or not even a waiver, just like a private room? Maybe even using a Catheter? I'll go to any length to become a Marine.
Thanks for reading... and all the help.
