Will the army allow my son to enlist? He is medicated for bi-polar. He is trying to enlist in the Army.?

And he is non-custodial parent to a child.
Answer:
Nope, bipolar disorder is considered 4F in any branch of the military.

not sure, but my guess would be no.

Not likely. He would not be a good candidate for any branch of the service due to how he may react were he to be captured and his medication taken away from him, or lose it in battle. Being under extreme pressures of war are not tolerated well by those having no mental disorders. Having a bi-polar disorder would make it very difficult for him. Try to encourage another way of helping the USA.

I doubt they would take him. He is considered a hazard. Because of the bipolar.

Sorry, but no. I live in an area with various military facilities of several different branches, and several kids my son knows from school could not get in because they had been officially diagnosed as bipolar.
