Here is a tip as a former recruiter.

When your children get to enlistment age and a recruiter calls, don’t ignore it, don’t hang up. Answer their questions and tell them incorrect medical information and it will be the last you hear from them. If not they will continue to harass you because it’s their job.

Now when it comes to a draft, idk how the govt will work it and it will probably come down to an evaluation to get a deferment vs taking the word of someone.

Always here to inform as I prefer a voluntary service vs those who don’t want to do it.

I failed the draft physical twice in 1971, at the custom house downtown canal street. the most prevalent scheme to fail was to eat a bag of sugar, to fail the blood sugar test. My out was a two old urinary infection that still required meds. If you are taking real meds, apparently military does not want the hassle to maintain.

Buddy of mine I served with used to be a recruiting station commander and said something similar to this. My son is approaching military age and his mother and I are in agreement. I planned on just telling recruiters not to bother but this...I'll keep this in mind.

I would not be shocked DoD either gets rid of MHS Genesis or starts handing out med waivers like candy.
