    Daniel,

    I was just looking over the forum and came across your posts from back in 2007 about the problems you had with MEPS/Recruiter regarding your ADHD medication. Your situation is almost a carbon copy of the situation I'm in right now. Last year (Fall of 09) I went into my recruiter ready to enlist and was told I would be DQ'd for ADD meds I had taken for 6 weeks the previous summer. MEPS shot down my waiver immediately and so I have been left to stick it out for the past year. Like you I thought the honorable (***Honor, Courage, Commitment***) thing to do was to not lie at my recruiter and I feel like the last year of my life has been spent not knowing anything about my situation and not having any guarantees about my future in the Corps. I have pretty much had to put my life on hold and in the past year have been busting my own ass to be as prepared for boot camp (god willing I get in). My biggest fear would be to have my recruiter tell me that even after the mandatory 1 year wait I still won't be able to enlist. Your situation was probably the most informative one i've found in my research over the past year. Reading what you wrote made me feel like I was looking into a mirror. I was just wondering if you had any tips or advice for me going forward? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this and another thank you for your service. God bless and take care.

    Sincerely,

    Tyler Wegerle
