Question by futurefbiguy: Military Enlistment… Counseling question.. ?
Ok.. basically im looking at joining the Air National Guard as an MP…. theres a question on the medical exam part that asks if you have “ever attended counseling”…

my problem is that when i was about 16… (im 19 now)… my dad made me go to an anger management session… i only talked to the shrink for about 10 minutes, and he told me he cant legally make me stay. that was it, i left the place and never went back… didnt have to, didnt need to (long story, parents thought i was on crack and stuff, but ive never done a drug in my life, etc…)

so anyways, does that count as counseling? like i said, at the very most i was in there for 10 minutes and the whole thing was frivilous, so do i tell the recruiter, or just shrug it off as nothing? I honestly dont think that counts as “attended counseling”… but sometimes the military thinks otherwise.

answer no to anything negative they ask you.

Doing the right thing, and being honest could possibly jeopardize your chances.

I had a friend who answered a question similar to this, to a similar application, and was turned away for being honest about a minor item (tried pot when he was 15).
