Medical discharge - opinions needed?
Hiya, I am the proud fiancée of a new Marine. He just graduated 2nd December at Parris Island, and yesterday left for MCT, Camp Geiger.
However, earlier today he contacted me saying he has been admitted to ER after having a random seizure right in the middle of the barracks. He told his recruiter before signing up that he has a history of seizures, one when he was very young (maybe four years old, I'm not sure) and two at age seventeen, within months of each other. Tests came back negative at the time and doctors could find nothing wrong with him.
He signed up at nineteen years old (is now twenty) and it was waivered, but now he thinks he may subject to a medical discharge. Tests will begin tomorrow and are scheduled till Jan 19th. I know there is no way of telling what will happen until the results come back, I just wondered what your opinions are on this or if you have heard of anything like this before. Do you think a medical discharge is likely under these circumstances?
Any opinions greatly appreciated. I also apologize for any confusion on my profile as I am from the UK and am currently staying in Dearborn, MI, with my fiancé's family. Also, apologies in advance if I have posted in the wrong place or whatever, I just didn't know who else to ask. Thank you.
