    Just to clarify he had a febrile seizure when he was young, but not sure if that had anything to do with the epilepsy. The other two he had were only suspected - no-one was around to see them. On one...

    Hi everyone, I'm sorry for not keeping in touch recently as it's all been waiting, but after a whole load of EKGs and MRIs we now know he is actually epileptic! Which was pretty shocking as I would...

    So far no new news. He told me that it could take 5-7 months for a discharge, but I guess there's no telling how long it will be. Does this sound about right? He was not told this by a professional,...

    Thank you. Yeah like I said some people never actually find out the cause of seizures and I hope he does. I will keep everyone updated, but I think the answer to my question is pretty finalized....

    Well, I guess it's possible. It just seems pretty far-fetched he'd be entitled to much after being a Marine for only two weeks. Then again I suppose by the time they discharge him he might've been in...

    So he could try to get compensation - how likely is that regarding the situation and his track record? Seeing as he's only been out of boot camp less than two weeks?

    I am quite surprised myself...

    I take it they will tell him all this in due time? Also like I said, I really doubt he'd be eligible for compensation among other things. I don't understand exactly how the benefits system works if a...

    Hmm :confused: not sure that would be applicable as these seizures happened before he was in the service as well. And it wasn't like he was doing anything except standing around when the most recent...

    I'm assuming one of the reasons for that is so he can confirm it was an honorable discharge?

    I mean, I have known people to have seizures for no apparent reasons. And from what I know (through past experiences) seizures can take different forms - fully body convulsions to barely-noticeable...

    Thank you. It's just playing on my mind and I needed to ask someone who's a Marine and knows the system fairly well, other than just all the hearsay on the internet.
